I just hooked up with a OEM Bronco overhead console. The Bronco is pretty smashed. I was wondering if someone can tell me where to find the sensor for the outside temp.?

I did a search and found Steve's Wiring diagram but, did not find where the sensor is. Or if I need any other sensors to make this work?

Thanx in advance,

was the bronc orig equipped with it? if not theres no sensor i dont think, you need to buy one

 

[massbronco]

when i removed the wiring harness from an explorer and traced it to behind the bumper. could you trace the wires into the hood compartment

I have had to install add on Ford ambient temp sensors on to several differant types of vehicles and they alway have you install the sensor somewhere in front of the radiator. So that's where I would look for it.

It's all shown in this thread. :shrug If you needed other sensors, they'd be shown in the wiring diagram.

I still dont know watt I am looking for from the wrecked Bronco. Can anyone show me a pic of watt it looks like?

Thanx,

Not to hijack, but I just ran into a related problem. I was working on the install of my overhead console (from an unknown year Explorer) and was trying to locate a temp sensor. I called my local dealer and was told that there was three (?) different temp sensors depending on the year. Also that they cost from $29 to $68! (My local ford dealers suck). So, does anyone know if the sensors are interchangable or how to figure out which one will work with the console I have? Thanks.

The way I tell what will work is to collect them in the junkyard & test them with the console/mirror. AFAIK, all Ford sensors FOR CONSOLES are compatible - probably the differences are in the mounting bracket & connector, but that's all conjecture.

I don't think I've never found a Ford sensor that works with a mirror - I always have to get them from GMs, which is what I usually get the mirrors from.

LOOKIN FOR Steve

Hi Steve, I know this Thread is OLD, but, I am installing my OEM Overhead Console for the Bronco and My Bronco has a Outside temp. Sensor and wires.

Could it be my '95 Came prewired for the Overhead Console?

Thanx,

None of our '95's did.
But you could be special.

Every '94-96 Bronco I saw in Brown's JY last week had the connector behind the e-brake support & the sensor wiring behind the headlight. Even the low-trim models that would never have been offered with the OHC. But you don't have the sensor - you have a blanking plug.

Thanx Steve, I do have the Sensor, Believe it :rockon

I just has to pull out the E-brake and the Harness should be there?

COOL, THANX AGAIN,

You might be able to reach the connector thru the access hole in the big aluminum bracket above the e-brake assy., but it's pegged in place, so it'll be difficult to pull down. You might have to drop the column, pull the e-brake, & then dislodge the aluminum bracket to get at the connector.

 

[allcruisen]

Got it, just have to run my harness up the pillar and to the center console..

Thanx Steve, it was exactly where you said it would be...
