It goes inside of the brake duct connected to the bumper. It's an ambient temp sensor for your heated washer nozzles. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | | | 11-14-2007, 04:45 AM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Jacksonville, Florida Posts: 322 |

Just for the washer nozzles. The ambient temp sensor for the OBC is in the drivers side brake duct. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone

aha ... one for each. god forbid we have one do both!  so is the OBC one just a temp sensor and the one for the washers a thermoswitch (turning things on at a particular temp)? __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles
