A/C Sunload Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mercury Marauder, 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis, and 2003 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The A/C sunload sensor:
- Is located on the top RH side of the instrument panel above the glove compartment.
- Contains a photovoltaic diode that is sensitive to light.
- Has some unspecified resistance across the terminals depending upon the amount of light reaching the photovoltaic diode; therefore the only test that can be performed is for an internal short circuit.
