Snagger Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I have just found a black circular sensor fitted immediately inboard and above the driver's side headlight on the steel panel that supports the headlight cage. It looks very much like a reversing sensor, but a little smaller. There are unused drillings for the same sensor on the passenger side. The sensor is hidden by the solid area of the plastic rad grille when in place, and has just two wires that feed into the wiring harness along the rhs wing. Does anyone know what it is? It can't be a light sensor because of the grill panel obscuring it. A temperature sensor, perhaps, but for what - my RRC is a simple 300Tdi, so has no engine or HEVAC ECUs?

DrRob Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Temp sensor that triggers the heated washer jets if I remember rightly. ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Ah, that's interesting! I had thought the washer jet heating was simply wired into the rear screen circuit, but this is quite plausible. It's a shame the Haynes manual doesn't cover the late models well.
