Hello all, I’ve searched old threads for an answer and didn’t find one. There’s a component with a 3-prong connection for an electrical connector mounted on the side of the cabin air filter intake that isn’t connected. I searched the compartment and didn’t see a loose connector to connect to it. Anyone know what it is? I marked it in the attached pic.

That would be the location for an hvac ambient temp sensor present on Gen 1 and reportedly eliminated on Gen 2.

I know you said you searched, but did you pull out the airbox and really dig into the space under there? This sensor tells the AC how much outside air to pull into the cabin based on temps.

It’s a Gen 2 so hopefully that answers my question. Thank you.
