Default interior lamp ???

Hello guys...
In my 86 coupe there is above the driver's seat, in the plastic interior cover, between the rooftop and the rear window,some kind of a light. ( I Think) . What is this for thing and what does it do ? It is covered with louvres and I can see something in it but I think that it is not a light.

Help me with this.....

Behind the louvers is the cockpit air temperature sensor. :) Do you have the C68 electronic HVAC system? If so, it monitors this sensor compared to what you have the temp set it, and alters its heat/cooling & fan speed appropriately. :)

No problem. That is why you'll notice that if you open your driver's window for a breeze, the fan speed will increase to try and compensate as the coolor (or warmer) air from outside gets fed into that duct.
