Passenger side right up under the bumper into the intake part where the radiator scoops the bottom air from.

At least that's the technical term

Yeah, mine always says something rediculous like 58 degrees when its like 94 degrees outside. I guess I'll get around to changing it one of these days, but I don't think it affects anything else on the car.

That's the default temp. when the sensor goes bad. Only around $10 at the dealer. It can affect your air conditioning function...........

Suprised the local dealer had it for that much, a steal on a Corvette part Mine read lower and lower until the A/C compressor wouldn't kick on 10 dolars to fix an A/C problem is money well spent

Mine read 68 when it was disconnected, after installing the Vararam. No problem when I reconnected it. It is easy to replace one. I guess a 2 minute job.
