I have a 09 Ram, so my sensor is not in the Mirror.

Mine seems to have a mind of it's own when it wants to work.
I bought a new one thinking it was the right one but it looks nothing like what I thought is the AAT sensor.

Is this it?

That connector is for a hood switch not the ambient air temp sensor.

Thank you

So you know where is the ambient air temp sensor is?

It's been a while since I dealt with a truck of the era, but I seem to recall that it should be just inboard of the passenger side headlight.

Correct, it’s behind the grill right beside the driver side headlight though, not passenger.
