    Hello guys,
    Anyone recognize this connector?
    It was tucked behind my battery by the fuse box and I would like to make sure something disconnected.
    For some reason my picture will not show up and and the image uploader will not work

    Uploading pics that way works..... but still clumsy. Next time you upload to Photobucket (many have trouble with just that!), click on the box that I marked red for ya. Will make the process for viewing your photos easier for all of us. And problems easier/faster to diagnose.

    As far as the connector, could be your Ambient Air Temp Sensor that is located in the front bumper, passenger side. Does your HVAC display the correct outside temp?

    Upload your photos using this button. Click on it, it copies the photo link automatically, then go back to your post on here and paste link (keyboard shortcut = Crtl+V).
    You must do this for every pic separately!!

    I do not have an Outside Temperature display. I believe the HUD on my dash would have one if it was a GT or GTP. The Base model doesn't come with alot of functions.

    Thanks for the info, this helps alot guys

    I'd say if the plug is there, you could, theoretically, plug one in and it should work...

    The screen in the dash is referred to as the DIC, btw... The HUD is the little projector directly in front of the steering wheel, that shows info on the windshield while you're driving.

    I don't think the 3 button has the temp feature.

    My 04 GT had the ambient temp sensor in the bumper, but didn't display temp on my 3 button DIC.

    When I switched to a 5 button DIC, the temp worked right away.
