What is this and where should it be?

[Ruddman]

I came out to my 95TI yesterday to find something hanging down in front of my right front wheel area. Can anyone tell me what this is and where should it be? The number on the part is 8357632.

Thanks

if im right it should go behind you fog lights. Theres like this vent that your suppose to attach it to. Look behind the fog light on your passengers side and you'll find it.

It's your ambient temperature sensor. It's supposed to go in the passenger side brake duct on sport models or next to the foglight on non sport models. It tells the windshield washers when to heat up.

i researched 8357632 and it seems to be the temp sensor that turns on heated windshield sprayers
