    ambient temp sensor

    anyone know the best place to get one? It's the part that reads the outside temperature. I called Toyota and they want 70 bucks for it. any ideas?

    yeah, i know where it goes, i just need to find out how to get it cheaper. i might end up having to shell out the 70 bucks beause no local junk yard has 8th gen corollas around here.

    i called about 20 junkyards in my state, no one had an 8th gen and the one that did didnt have the sencor. P.S. the chevy prizm uses the same exact part, in fact i got mine from a corolla and put it on my prizm, try calling junkyards for a prizm, you might get lucky.

    doesnt have to be from a corolla, just yank one off a camry or something. there's a million junkyards in LA, i gurantee you'll find one.
