Default Where is the external temp sensor?

I have a problem with my A/C suddenly going warm for a while, then back to cold again.

I noticed that my external temp sensor is having problems. I see 85 degrees (it's 100F out there right now) then it suddenly shows 65 degrees, and it start blowing warm air.

I need to get this working again, and was going to replace the sensor, but I don't know where to find it.

Can anyone help?

Look in front of the radiator to the lower left side. As I recall it kinda looks like a little minature horn.

You might need to replace the interior sensor if your AC is blowing warm air. Its in the B-pillar.

the b-pillar is the structural body member right behind your head.

FYI- the a-pillar is what holds the windshield in place, and the c-pillar is what holds the rear glass in place on normal vehicles. our C4's do not have a c-pillar. a-b-c, get it? and, yes there are d-pillars.
