Where is the ambient temp sensor located? STFA and got as far as behind the bumper but I couldn't

find it. I think I screwed it up when I installed the ICs cause now it reads 15-20 degrees to high when the car is warmed up (reads fine when car is cold). I probably just need to move it away from whatever heat source is causing it to read improperly.

Anyone know the specific location?

You have the radiator, then the AC condensor (black), then on the outside of that you have...

a rod (PS cooler loop) which, as was said before, the sensor is connected to.

Find it like I did - pull the bumper by yourself, accidentally drop it a few...

inches while pulling it off the supports. When you hear it fall onto and snap off a little plastic arm, you'll find the sensor dangling at the end of the broken piece.
