Sensor - Sun: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Magnum and 2005 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The automatic temperature control (ATC) heating-A/C system uses a sun sensor assembly (1) to measure sun light intensity. The sun sensor assembly incorporates two sun sensors (2) within a molded plastic case which is mounted to the instrument panel and a clear lens (3) that protrudes through the defroster grille. The wire harness receptacle (4) connects the sun sensors to the vehicle electrical system through a wire lead and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
