As an American, in order to replace the ambient air temperature sensor in a 2017 Ford Explorer, locate it in front of the engine bay behind the grille on the driver's side, adjacent to the driver's side headlight. Signs of a faulty sensor include issues with the A/C auto mode, inconsistent cooling, and incorrect temperature readings. The cost for a replacement sensor can range from $10 to $20, depending on whether you choose an aftermarket or OEM version. To install the new sensor, be sure to disconnect the battery to prevent electrical complications or injury. The sensor is attached with a clip, so simply disconnect the clips, remove it from the grille, and insert the new one.
