In the 2018 Ford Escape, you can find the ambient air temperature sensor situated at the bottom of the front grille on the driver's side. You can easily replace it by popping it out with a screwdriver, without needing to remove any other components. The cost of a replacement ranges from $14 to $21 for a part like the BWD Ambient Air Temperature Sensor, part #Wt5788. If you are experiencing fluctuations in climate control or noticing erratic behavior on your instrument panel gauge, this sensor could be the culprit. Given its affordability and easy replacement process, it should be one of your first troubleshooting steps.
