    Alright I'm new to the site here. This 95 Grand Prix GTP has become my 2nd project car next to my 525hp 2010 Camaro 2SS/RS. My issue is I have fixed everything on the car except the ambient air temp sensor. I can't even find the damn thing and I have search through every internet resource available. Is anyone willing to share with me the location of the temp sensor? I really appreciate any help and THANK YOU! To clarify I can't find where it is located on the car. I know where to buy it

    I'm talking about the outside temperature sensor that tells you the temperature outside. I can't find where it is on my car. Thanks

    Check in front of the radiator on the drivers side about half way down. Should be in that area IIRC.

    I checked ... it's not there. I can't believe this little sensor is this tough to find. Outside temp has been saying -40 F, since I bought it ..... it's really annoying. I almost considering taking it to a shop just to find where the the sensor is. Maybe someone has the Grand Prix Official Repair manual could look and see where it is for me .... ? I even just wish I knew where the wiring went through the firewall so I could just start tracing it that way to the sensor. Thanks for any help

    I thought it was suppose to be at the hood latch too, but I have nothing there and no wiring even around that area except my headlight bulbs. Anyone know where the wiring is suppose to come from .... maybe a schematic or does anyone else have a 94-96 GTP with this feature? Thanks for any help

    Thats the picture I've seen before .... hmmmm. There is nothing in that area on my car. Someone must have taken the sensor and wiring and deleted it for some reason. I know there has been a new AC compressor put in the car at some time ... could have happened then. Does anyone have a wiring schematic for that sensor. If I had that I could buy the sensor and rewire it into the system components. Thanks for any help
