Does anybody know what the doohicky is that's in between the 2 defroster vents on the front dash?? It's about the diameter of a dime and 1/2 in. tall, dome shaped on top. Maybe a sensor or justsomething I paid extrafor? Not that it
really matters, I was just wondering what the **** it is.

Are you talking about the temp sensor for the auto climate control?

 

What hes talking about is the sunlight sensor, it provides the ATC ECUwith light intensity readings for each side of thecarand calculates the solar heating affect in the car

 

See, once again I know nothing. Thanks UP.

 

Solar heating effect?? Is that for real?

 

yes, by calculating the light intensity, the sensor sends the info to the ATC ECU, which obviously is programmed as such that it can more or less work out how much solar heat (sun) is in the car, and adjust the Auto climate control accordingly. How effective it is who knows, but thats what its for.

 

I guess doohickey is another technical term like thingy. I would bet that the doohickey can be adjusted with a football bat.

 

Any doohickey can be adjusted with a bat, but a thingie usually takes a crowbar, although a tire jack can substitute as long as the angle of contact is sufficient. It is important to note, however, that a golf club works on both.

That would probably be better a use of my golf clubs than how I use them on the golf course. They usually become projectiles that travel further than the ball and follow by a string of explitives.
