Outside Air Temperature Sensor (REPOST)
Can anyone help me find the OATS? It is suppose to be on the radiator support.
I have to replace it because my digital heat isn't working properly.
Thanks in advance.

Can't tell you where it is any better that you describe, but I did find out I had to disconnect the battery for a bit in order for it to reset. I changed it out once because it still kept reading wrong. Then I just decided to try a "reboot" (disconnect battery) and the new one started working.
There may be a better way, but passing along my experience

So was it where it was supposed to be or in a different place?

if you crawl under the car you can see the end sticking out into the air intake for the radiator.
