Default A/C temp off

Hello all... Just replaced both inside and outside temperture sensors because my AC was out of sink with what the temp was reading on the dash AC....seem to work for me...I'm also including some picks on locations...about a 30min job.

Having trouble w/mine as well -- in the summer, not the winter. Have to crank the temp up to 77-78deg in order to avoid having the system freeze me out.

Where did you source the parts? Why both at once vs trying one @ a time? Price?

Thanks!

Bump. I bought the two sensors from Sewell. Replacing the one in front of the radiator was easy. The one under the dash looks trickier.

Can you tell me how you removed the lower portion of the dash under the steering wheel/column? I got the bottom detached partially, but not enough to get up to the sensor. Thanks!

Default A/c

Hello, I ordered my parts from lexus dealer for $25 bucks each that's way I decided to do both because one works with the other ( outside air , inside air)

You only have a couple of screws to take off for the inside one just pop off the ignition key ring and the left wood trim and you should have plenty of room.

Thanks! I orders from Sewell and was able to do as you suggest to r&r the one under the ignition key. Temp control back to factory fresh. Thanks.
