Does anyone have the part number for the tiny light on the top of the dash that sits in the grillwork? I broke mine the last time I took the dash off. I have searched far and wide with no success. Thanks in advance.

It's actually the inside ambient light sensor. There's another in the dash. This one helps with lighting as well.

Well, I am still looking for the pn. That pn was for the outside ambient air temperature. It's under the hood. I really appreciate you trying. I obviously described the part incorrectly. I'm going to post a photo. I don't know if the mods will let me do that so if you want it down, mods, take it down. Sorry in advance. This is what I need. I hope they leave the photo up.

Well shoot, you're a lotta help! lol! It's the ambient light sensor for twilight sentinel and for your dash lights to know how bright to be. It works in concert with the eye on the dash bezel.

Upgrade to a double din touch screen...

You could always call Vettenuts to see if you can get a used one that's in decent shape. You might have to buy the entire head unit though.
