Ambient Temperature Sensor - What wires?

12-13-2013, 12:24 PM

I have a replacement Ambient Temp sensor however the wire colors are mis-matched. I have a Brown/Orange and Brown/Grey coming from the new sensor and the plug has a Blue and Brown wire coming from it.

Can someone point me in the right direction what goes to what? Bentley was no help.

Brown is ground, but it doesn't matter which way the sensor is wired. It will work either way.
