Motorcraft YH1662 Ambient Air Temperature Sensor

My 2007 Ford Fusion 4 cyl. is owned by my husband. Only a few weeks ago, the air conditioner began to blow hot air. We took it to a mechanic, who informed us that the evaporating temperature sensor was reading -. The voltage is 40 volts, and the cost to repair it is $580, with $545 of that being labor. I was completely enraged. I started looking into the problem and discovered that it was a very common issue in 2006-2007. Because the entire dash, weather stripping, and center console must be removed, labor costs for 2008 Ford Fusions are extremely high. I found a very helpful YouTube DIY video on how to replace this part and tried it out on my own. I spent two and a half hours total on the Fusion, but it now has working air conditioning, and I saved nearly $600. Thank you so much for making this part publicly available. Before you overpay a mechanic, I strongly advise you to try this route.

Wow, make sure to watch the video on YouTube. It takes some time, but tearing apart the entire dash appears to be a difficult project, but it isn't. Ford made a mistake by placing it in such a difficult location, as it appears that many people have had to replace it.

For my 2006 Ford Fusion, this is an exact replacement sensor. I just wish I didn't have to take apart my entire dashboard in order to get to it. This item is for you if your air conditioner stops working unexpectedly and the PCM displays code P0538. Do this job yourself if you have any mechanical ability, a socket set, and a Lisle 35260 Plastic Fastener Remover, and you'll save a lot of money. This link will take you to a great video that will show you how to replace the sensor step by step.

Even though I didn't have the temp out of range error code and the 37k resistor under the glove box fix didn't work, I decided to try this because I had a confounding number of symptoms. br>On the day I installed it, which was in the mid-60s, it measured 39k ohms. The old one, which I removed, was around 33k in size.

I'm going to give it five stars even though it wasn't the issue I was having because I still don't have air conditioning. This, I believe, was a contributing factor. I'm not sure, I just buy what my brother says and hope for the best; unfortunately, this wasn't it, but I'm sure it works fine because it didn't break anything else and my brother was able to replace it without cracking my entire dashboard, so I'd call it a win; however, my hopeful simple fix is more than that, which is the story of my life. or, I suppose, the life of my car.

When it comes to aftermarket parts and tools for my own vehicles and those of my customers, I'm always on the lookout for the best deal. Excellent quality at an affordable price. Everything is in order.

I followed a YouTube video and did it myself in my 2006 Ford Fusion, saving $900 by not going to the mechanic.

Have a good time installing. I plugged in a wiring plug and hid it behind the glovebox. It's perfect in Florida.
