Wire under bumper - Toyota Yaris Forums

Ryan042 · 03-15-2014, 08:10 PM

Hey guys, I noticed today that I have a wire dangling on the drivers side under the bumper near the fog light. Does anyone know what it is?

That is the ambient temperature sensor for the A/C system.

there is a black bracket that it clips into. looks like the clip is missing from that one.

Thanks for the help guys! Is it important to be mounted properly, or can I just stick it in the bumper and hope it stays? I try not to use the A/C except for the defroster. I may be taking the bumper off soon anyways, as my fog light seems to have fallen into the enclosure. does anyone have any pictures or instructions to how it mounts?

The link in post #2 shows how it mounts. It would not be a problem to mount it however you can.

Thanks Scott! Do you happen to have any pictures of how the fog light mounts? It's a 2007, I suspect it fell out while kicking snow out of the bumper.

View this link to get and idea how the fog lights are mounted to the bumper (screws into the bumper plastic). images 5-8.
