Default What is this?


Would someone please tell me what this is? I'm guessing it's the external temperature sensor. Can it be relocated? I don't like being able to see it when I look at the front of my car.

Yeah, I think that's the external temp sensor. I don't know what it does besides tell you what the temperature is outside, so I wouldn't hesitate to relocate it if it bugs ya.

its an infra red bug zapper to keep bugs outta your radiator. It appears to be faulty though b/c you got some bugs in the radiator. Take it to ford & they will replace it. lol... Its most like a temp sensor man. haha

Haha, they'll have to train their salesmen to point that out to people before they buy it so it doens't get asked so much

That is what is called dirty. Don't you ever wash your car?

Lol. Yes I clean it, but I live in the desert so the dirt you see builds up after two days.
