Solar Sensor: Description and Operation

A/C Sunload Sensor

The A/C sunload sensor:
- is located on the top RH side of the instrument panel above the glove compartment.
- contains a photovoltaic diode that is sensitive to light.
- has some unspecified resistance across the terminals depending upon the amount of light reaching the photovoltaic diode; therefore the only test that can be performed is for an internal short circuit.
