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].

my 90 looks like yours as well. my 93 & 95 have the rounded top. i was led to believe there was a change somewhere along the way but from what Hans said...i don't know. i've had the temperature sun load sensor out a couple times before, i was pretty sure the way yours is, is correct...now i'm not so sure?

My 90 looks just like yours, no cover. My 91 does have a little black dome on it. I never noticed the difference before.
