Default Where is the cabin temp sensor on 03 LS430?

Oooooh I love me some remote start! BUT... the install just cost me my climate control!!! What I've discovered is that my display will appear as if nothing is wrong (temp will change up AND down) but will actually blow the same hot air at every temp setting. I found that it will blow ice cold air, but only on the "max cold" setting. From scavenging the web for answers, I found somebody with a SC400 with the exact same problem and it was the temp sensor that got unplugged from under the dash... which led me to believe my installer must have forgot to plug it back in. I know, take it back to the shop and make them fix it. I just don't have time during the week, but would like to attempt it myself if someone could offer some insight on the whereabouts of this plug.

If it were me, I'd take it back to the installers and have them fix it. They probably already have the schematics and would know where to go if it was the sensor that got unplugged. Good luck!

Yea, it should not run like that... Something must be unplugged. I have remote start and the temp is exactly what I left it at before shutting off the car. If I leave the defrosters on (do this when snow is expected), it will start up with them on.

No question, remote start is one of those features I need on a car and cant really live with out (cool the car in the summer and heat the car in the winter)
