Sun Sensor: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Dodge Intrepid, 2003 Chrysler Intrepid, 2003 Chrysler Concorde, and 2003 Chrysler 300M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Connect the wiring harness connector to the sensor and position in the vehicle.
Install the two sensor fasteners.
Install the instrument panel top cover.
Connect the negative battery cable remote terminal to the remote battery post.

CAUTION: The sun sensor must protrude approximately 1/4 inch above the instrument panel top cover. This will ensure proper operation.

If the sensor does not protrude 1/4 inch, perform the following procedure:

Confirm that the top cover is properly installed
Remove the top cover
Remove fasteners from sun sensor
Install one 1/4-20 nut per fastener under the sun sensor so that it is shimmed higher
Reinstall the sun sensor. Do not overtighten screw. If a longer screw is required, use 8-15 x 1 inch.
