What is this sensor?
It's near the windshield wiper pump motor on the left hand side of the motor if you're looking at it head on, in between the wiper fluid reservoir and the radiator.
I was poking around there and came up with this sensor, not sure if it needs to be plugged into anything? Maybe it connects into the radiator?
This is from a 2011 Caprice PPV/L77 - Thanks!

Re: What is this sensor?
I believe that is the ambient/external air temp sensor.

Re: What is this sensor?
What does it get hooked up to? Can I just leave it loose? or does it clip into the AC condenser (or radiator?) somewhere?
Re: What is this sensor?
AMBIENT TEMP SENSOR , i just hangs out
Re: What is this sensor?
Awesome - thanks! I was worried I had unplugged it from something important!
Re: What is this sensor?
it is supposed to be mounted/clipped into a hole , but all it measures is the outside temp and displays inside
Re: What is this sensor?
OK thanks - happy to clip/mount it into the proper place, I looked online but can't seem to find a clear picture of where it needs to go. Checked various GM parts sites, etc. to no avail
I did confirm it's GM part number 9152245 for the record...

It mounts to the front clip/ radiator support. In the back you see some webbing in the plastic structure. There is a cavity that it fits into a a hole that those 3 clips snap into. There is another one on the other side of the car maybe you can see that one in there as a reference.
I think it is near the front crash sensors. that are also mounted in the front clip.

Re: What is this sensor?
OK thanks @smwalker - I'll take a look see what I can see, for such a big car, there's still lots of stuff crammed together that makes it difficult to find.
Re: What is this sensor?
Actually I am sorry it's down by the washer pump and maybe only one not 2??
