Default Another question...

With the auto HVAC system there is the light sensor on the dash (center and towards the windshield)>>


Is there supposed to be a cover or cap or just as this pic shows???

And just to give a sneak preview... had the car professionally buffed out etc... 9 hours later and WOW...then I added Zymol Concours wax and then detailer...

Michael, Thats the way the sun load sensor is supposed to look. I just double checked my 90 model to make sure. The manual says "this sensor measures the amount of heat generated from the sun shinning in the vehicle". Your car looks great.

I have a '91 and there is a small, black, bulb-shaped cover over the sensor. Not sure if that was a change from '90 MY...

Looking at your pic again... the base of mine mine also sits somewhat recessed in the top of the dash pad, where the base of yours looks to be flush with the pad. My guess is that yours is right for the year.

Your missing the black, bulb like, cover for the sunload sensor, which does have an effect on how and when the system operates. Mine was missing too. The system now works much better with the cover in place.

Paint looks great by the way...

The sensor on my 10,000 mile 90 looks just like yours [no cover].

Question Re: Another question...

maybe there was a change somewhere during the run. i thought Michael's car is an earlier one if i remember correctly? my 90 is 1706, pretty much halfway through the run & mine is flat, no cover/dome.

My 90 is just like yours, no cover. There is nothing in the NCRS manual about a cover on it, and I didn't lose any point for not having one.
