mac801123 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Can any one tell me what this is??? It's the first time I've seen one, seems too be a light sensor. Just on top of the dash to the right of the cluster. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Andy_M Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 There was never anything like a light sensor on the MK1/1.5. I think its just a blemish in the light on the camera or damage to the dashboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac801123 Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 I'll get a better pic of it for you tomorrow but trust me it there... blue disc with a sensor of some description with 2 wires going to it. I'm removing a dash at the scrap yard today and found it. So can have good photos for you to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac801123 Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 It's not a light... and it's a Ford part, I've looked on the net and only found it on cars with the digital heater pod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WES180 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Was it a bluey/purple cap that used to go over it? I can visualise it but cant find a pic of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G930F If you look at the close up the blue/purple disc is next to it. What is the sun load sensor for?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Sun load sensors fine tune a climate control system to take direct sunlight heat into consideration when cooling the car.Sent from my SM-G930F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac801123 Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Ah right that would explain why they are only on the cars with digital heaters... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
