You guys thought I'd leave this thread hanging...fools...well spring is here and I'm back to add some more goodies to my projects. This time we'll get the ambient temperature sensor installed for the ATC conversion.
The first thing you need to do is to remove the front grille. We need to add the ambient temperature sensor and it's bracket to the bottom side of the center support bracket. Shown here in white,
Man, look at how much rust damage all those years of driving can do. I'll have to figure something out for that sometime in the future.
You will then need to install the ambient sensor on it's support bracket. I had to drill the bottom hole of the bracket a little wider because the sensor wouldn't snap in properly.
You can now proceed to install this ambient sensor to the correct location defined for it. You will need a 10mm bolt to hold it all down.
Next you will have to get the sensor's plug and run the wires to the wiring (orange/black and black/yellow) that you left hanging at the foot of the driver side. I will need to do that later and show you guys how I ran the wires.
That nearly completes the ambient sensor side of the project.
Still remaining on this project are; to solder some wires for the illumination, thermal transmitter, and a couple others that are sitting behind the AC control panel. Finally, we will need to run full diagnostics, calibrate, and tune the entire system.
We are on the final stretch here and everything it finally coming together. Thank God.
