Solar Sensor: Description and Operation

The A/C sunload sensor:
- is located on top of the instrument panel on the passenger side.
- contains a photovoltaic cell that is sensitive to light.
- has some unspecified resistance across the terminals depending upon the amount of light reaching the photovoltaic diode; therefore the only test that can be performed is for an internal short circuit.
