Default Sensors....

I found the two sensors that lie between the headlights... one sits on the air damn and the other is on the hood latch support... I had to replace the one on the air dam..... What are these sensors for?

*Proof I am a NOOB!*

Hood latch support one is for the overhead temperature display, air dam? ABS sensor maybe?

it has been asked here before. both by me, and other members. no concrete answer for the one (by the plastic air shovel centered on the radiator) by the air dam. if you find out, let me know

I've answered it before. I'm betting you have automatic climate control. The one in the hood latch support is for the ambient temperature readout on the overhead console. The other is the ambient temperature sensor for the automatic HVAC system.

it's probably some high speed option we don't have
like: submarine package option power peroscope
or
the plug in for your ZR2.
