				auto heat sensor
			 
			Hi guys, So when re-installing my headliner I had come across a braided wire that I traced back to the auto heat console in the centre of the car. I tucked it away close to the sunvisor hole so I could easily fish it out when the time came i could get access to it, I have now just installed my new visors and viola there it was still sitting there, from memory last i believe something connects to it? where does that live? i have nothing to go on because the previous one would of been damaged in the fire. I think last time i found the part was NLA? Is there a replacement?   | ||

			is that a power plug to a light in the visor?  at first I thought it looked like a power plug for a radar detector you might state the year,

			Should be a little bezel with a ~1" rubber stem where the sensor lives. I think you're correct on it being NLA.

			I wonder if there is something (another kind of sensor I can adapt) or can use instead? How does this affect the auto heat unit whilst not connected?? | ||

			The wire needs to go to the center behind the rear view mirror. I have not seen lighted mirror on the sun visor so you definitely need more length. Bruce | ||

			post 10 in this thread shows the location, item may be NLA: Auto heat Wiring FYI - Since Targas have no hardtop, they mount them behind the dash. Replacement part for the NTC thermistor itself: 3.2 Carrea cabin heater sensor cable replacement
