Default Inside Temperature Sensor

I recently purchased a 1999 Corvette Coup C5 and noticed it is missing the Inside Temperature Sensor. There is a hole where this sensor is supposed to be. Is this senor something I can replace or do I have to take it to the dealer to replace?

Also, when I press the button on the windshield washer, the spray washer fluid does not spray. How do I check what the problem might be?

Thanks,
Manuel

Ok, how did you find out it was missing? Is the cover missing as well?

Washer fluid does not spray? Is there fluid in the tank? Does the pump run when you activate the switch?

If I'm not mistaken, the inside air temp sensor is only for C5's equipped with the automatic (dual) climate control. If you have the manual climate control, you do not need (and should not have) this sensor...
