ambient temp sensor

ambient temp sensor

anyone know the best place to get one? It's the part that reads the outside temperature. I called Toyota and they want 70 bucks for it. any ideas?

i called junk yards and NO ONE had it. your best bet is the dealer....

Damn, thats hella expensive, you gotta be able to find a cheaper one.

its behind the front bumper, on a frame piece, little black piece that looks like an antenna. BTW

yeah, i know where it goes, i just need to find out how to get it cheaper. i might end up having to shell out the 70 bucks beause no local junk yard has 8th gen corollas around here.

i called about 20 junkyards in my state, no one had an 8th gen and the one that did didnt have the sencor. P.S. the chevy prizm uses the same exact part, in fact i got mine from a corolla and put it on my prizm, try calling junkyards for a prizm, you might get lucky.

cool, that gives me more options, thanks man

Sorry I was angry lastnight...

haha, it's cool, i didn't take it the wrong way.

i got mine from the dealer but paid 50 after tax here if your buy parts on sat its 20% off

That's pretty sweet, I wish that was true with everything!

wow its amazing i jsut found this post, i just ordered mine off a site and it came in and works perfectly....

1sttoyotaparts.com, it was 34.42 shipped

sweet, thanks for the info man. i'm waiting for my cluster to come in, it should be any day now. once its in and good, i'm going to order it

i got it yesterday and put it in, its sooooooo annoying seeing that stupid -E- or -22f when it rains lol
Now i don'thave to look at banks to see wat temp it is

go to colission catalog, then pick the year and stuff and then eletrical, then eletrical system and then temp sensor and there you go, 34.95

doesnt have to be from a corolla, just yank one off a camry or something. there's a million junkyards in LA, i gurantee you'll find one.

meh, i didn't think about that. i just ordered the one online, thirty bucks works for me. thanks for the suggestion though.
