- The fancier GM cars have 'em mounted right behind the grill.. My
- Toronado has it mounted right behind the grill, in a little enclosure
- so that the air flows over it as the car moves.
-
- In response to your note about what the temp sensors on your car
- did... on the Toro, it uses one sensor to get outside temp, one for
- inside temp, one looking up that the sun shines on so it can tell how
- hot the sun is and adjust A/C accordingly, then it has a sensor in the
- high side and another in the low side monitoring the freon temps...
- so, the climate control system has a total of FIVE temp sensors! (go
- figure)
