scooby_doo_do Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 Does anyone know what the little black Dome looking lump thing does inside the car just before you reach the windscreen ? (Sorry about the description!). Is it something to do with the standered alarm ? Or is it a gprs system for aliens because they all want supra's to fly around space in.. (Sorry for the last bit :-) ) Ta... Craig. MKIV TT 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin F Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 It's a solar sensor for the A\C system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 Its a mini trackball for the in-car Atari system. All imports have them, doesn't yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

as5606 Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 What does the solar sensor do? and don't just say "senses the sun" like you were going to..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin F Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 It senses........................ On hot days when it is particularly sunny (so not in the UK then) it causes the A\C to increase output slightly to compensate for the heating effect from the sun. Hence the reason why it is at the front of the windscreen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had someone else take a peek at it but no result . . so .. what do you advise I do chap ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piran Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 is this the sensor that also detects whether it's daylight ? since when it's dark if you pull on the door handles it the interior lights go on - as doe the lights around the door and ingition key holes !

Terminator Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 You can do some checks your self, I can email you the checking charts for codes, but I can't remember which two heater/air con buttons you press to get diagnostic at the moment, I am sure some one else will beat me to it. Most main dealers know very little aabout aircon specialist firm is the best way to go once you know what is wrong with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errr as far as i know that happens whether it's day or night, it's just not so easy to see during the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Strangely, the keyhole on the door does not illuminate on facelilt cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
