the area circled in red....

 

Ambient (inside car) temp sensor - one of the sensors used by the climate control to adjust fan speed and which air flow vents are used.

 

Its the vent for the air temperature sensor for the automatic climate control.

 

im not sure what that does, it may be part of the auto climate control like these guys say, but i know there is also a small 1in circle on the passenger side dash next to the vents right under the windshield that is a thermometor, read this in the owners manual.

 

it allows you to inhale the fumes from ur engine bay....

 

Thats actually the sun-load sensor. The readings from that are also used to determine the fan speed/vent settings.

 

nice interior by the way...

 

that was a good one

 

thanks for the explainations

 

O ok i see, damn they thought of everything when they made this climate contol didnt they. i dount think i could deal with having a car w/o it now that i have had it. :rockon:

 

this is off topic but is that really a 99 max? i dont have those controls on my steering wheel. Did you get it of a 5th gen?

 

it is not my car, i just found this picture and was wondering what that was because i have it in my car and never really knew what was or did.


its not mine, but from what i have read in the other thread is that this is from an altima? the steering wheel that is.

 

i forget who's car it is, but the steering wheel is definitely from an altima.

 

the sun load sensor is on the dash with the defogger vents.

 

i wonder if all those buttons work....i wouldnt mine gettin one if its not hard to do...

 

Thats from killermax95. As you can see by his name his car is a 95, but he has done a full exterior and interior swap from a 97-99.
This that steering wheel is from an Altima and last I herd he was working on getting the steering controls work with the radio
