It's an ambient light sensor. In high ambient light (like daytime) the interior lights stay off when door is opened.

That's your Sun load temp sensor.It's works with the a/c (electronic) to determine a/c needs.etc.
To remove, ( grille) pry up on the rear of the grille with a small flat screwdriver. Their are a couple of tabs holding it. Be careful, the plastic is probably brittle from sitting in the sun for all these years. There's an electrical connector you have to remove & the sensor is removed, quarter turn to the left.
