My ambient air sensor got disappeared when my front bumper hit a rock on a gravel road. This isn't the sensor that reports to the computer for air-fuel, but rather just runs the outside air temp indicator inside the vehicle. I don't have the indicator in mine.
The problem is that it still brings up a check engine light so it masks any real problems. I don't want to spend $60 just to make an irrelevant sensor work. My plans is to simply add a resistor or thermistor to mimic a reasonable outdoor temp.
What I need is someone who knows how to use an ohmmeter to measure the resistance of the device. It's located under the front bumper of the 2005 Grand Caravans, so I would think it's somewhere nearby for other years and models.
So if you're a gearhead beer swiller willing to help out a fellow brewer, you have my gratitude.
