400h08 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I just happened to look under the front end, below the bumper, and saw a kind of switch thing with 2 exposed wires (one white, don't remember the color of the second wire). This thing is just in front of and just about the lowest part of the radiator. What is this thing? Is it the outside temp sensor? It is so exposed that water, road dirt, snow can be splashed on it. It does not have any cover for protection. BTW, this is a 08 RX400h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djspawn00 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 hmmmmmmmm take a pic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
400h08 Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 OK, I'll take a pic tomorrow. I just looked at it. The radiator is right behind the bumper, and before the rad, there is a mud guard or something, across the whole width of the bumper. That whole guard and the bumper forms the approach angle. but I can still see the rad quite clearly, and this thing is just there. Very strange. Anyway, will post pic tomorrow.

Actually, it's the AC cooling radiator located right behind the bumper ... but yes, it looks like the radiator. The ICE radiator is right behind that.

SOMEONE ELSE'S GOT MY NAME Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 It's just a modular wiring connecter. It doesn't really matter what it goes to. It's not supposed to just be hanging there out in the breeze. I'd take it back to the dealer & they can secure it where it belongs in less than a minute.

400h08 Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Thanks. I'll have to wait for my next 6 month appointment for oil change/inspection. Maybe I'll try and see if I can tug it back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
