Review on Dorman 902-021 Ambient Air Temperature Sensor: Ideal for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury Models by Hector Watkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Does what it says on the tin

I have a 2014 Mustang V6 and have always wondered why the outside temp is always reading 50 degrees. This temp was changing from time to time (up to -37 degrees at one point) so I figured it must be a faulty outside temp sensor. Imagine my surprise when, after lifting the front of the car and sliding it under the front bumper, I found that the connecting wire zip was attached to the frame with no sensor attached! I found and ordered the correct OEM part number. When it arrived it was quickly installed and even attached to the inner bumper. At first the temperature did not change. I took it for a ride and the temperature started to rise. It was within 1 degree of the actual outside temperature. I'm really glad it was such an easy fix. The item looks well made. It works, what more could you ask for?

Pros
  • Direct replacement for correct fit
Cons
  • Negative impression
