RangerM Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) Dealer Says It's Just An Extra Part ------------------------ WHAT ? Did the vehicle have a few miles on it, like it had been test driven prior? What you describe, and making a lot of assumption, sounds like it could have been kicked by someone who sat in the vehicle prior. In any case, it might be worth going to a different dealer, and asking them. [FOLLOWUP QUESTION TO ANYONE READING THIS] I once heard that a dealer has a financial stake in any warranty work performed on a vehicle it sold, and any warranty work performed on that vehicle is $$ out of their pocket. True? Edited January 4, 2008 by RangerM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixt9coug Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Call another dealer and see if they can run the part number. the ABS is just the name of the plastic. it doesnt mean its part of the braking system or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe most of the numbers you encounter on Ford parts, that, while looking like Ford parts catalog numbers, are actually engineering numbers, and because of that, may not show up in the catalog. However, Ford may have changed their practice. Edited January 10, 2008 by Edstock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordtech1 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 It looks like the in car tempature sensor. Its possible that an extra one got dropped in the dash during assembly and instead of finding it they stuck another one in. If you dont have any A/C problems, then I would not worry. The original location of that sensor is located in the panel below the steering column. There is a spot on that panel that has slots for air to reach the sensor. Check with a flash light and see if something is behind those slots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catalepsy Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I don't understand why some people come to a fan site just to be annoying. I guess there must be Ford fans at Toyota sites doing the same? Although a friend at a major marketing agency told me Toyota pays people to go to blogs, forums and consumer interactive sites to provide plant positive posts and counter negative ones. Don't feed the trolls, look at his signature, his name and any comments....pure troll! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhgraves5767 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Thank you. Who cares if this tiny sensor was originally designed for a Toyota by this Chinese parts supplier and adopted by Ford because it was the best solution for the Edge. Good for Ford. 室外溫度传感器 = Outside Temperature Sensor丰田 = Toyota Not so sure how it ended up in your vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
