Simon_CSK Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I am in the process of repairing my Range Rover Sport TDV8 after I bought a crash damaged one. I have replaced the dash and have misplaced a small electrical part. Below is a photo of the dash of my other sport showing the top of the part I am missing. What is it and what does it do?

I have stripped the dash out to fit a new one because the air bags were deployed and the car will not start or disengage the immobiliser. I have lost two of them as they are tiny and was hoping it was related to the alarm or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is there to compensate for how the human body feels temp - that is the body feels hotter when it is bright and colder when dull. So this sensor pushes the climate control output temp down a degree or two over what is set when it is a bright and sunny day (something you don't get in the UK) and when it is dull and cold (as normal in the UK) it pushes the temp up a degree or two. It may also input into the auto headlights but not sure on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
