    Pretty sure it's where the cabin temperature sensor lives.

    Yup A/C sensor is at the end of a tube behind the grill.

    So, I assume that this sensor caters for the driver side temp adjustment. That is you set the driver's side A/C temp for 22 degC & this sensor manages the system to that set temp.

    So where does the paassenger side set temp get monitored from?

    I think the one behind the grill is general air temp.
    Air temp for each side would be controlled by a sensor in the return air on each side? Anyone know better?

    HI
    The temp for the rhs and lhs can only be around 3/4 deg differance so if the driver has his temp set to 22 deg and the pasenger say 20 deg it will just take 2 deg off the monitered temp of the drivers side.
    Well thats how I think it would work
