Ambient temp sensor for 2022 Himalayan

[SpeedAgent]

I just picked up this bike and noticed the ambient temp was flashing on the dash. Inspection of the bike showed the sensor is missing from under the rear mud flap. No idea why it's not there, but I'm having a heck of a time finding this part online. I'm in Atlanta GA and not finding any local suppliers. Would love a recommendation.

Thanks!

You may know this already, but on latest bike it’s hidden between the two layers that form the rear mudguard assembly.

The sensor is a Thermistor that can be purchased from an Electronic supplier.

Or Hitchcocks if you want a new one that is 100% sure the right part

Does the wire for it run under the mud flap? Or do you need the wiring to go from under the seat back there?

I didn't realize '22 didn't need to have it relocated, and got a wiring extension kit from Hitchcock's. Now I have that part on my shelf of shame with no use.

The sensor still over reads when positioned under the rear mudguard so you could use the extension to move it forwards into free air and have one less item on your shelf of shame….

I'm grateful to know we all have shelves of shame. I try to be positive when I buy something I did not actually need, but inertia prevents me from returning, and think of it as keeping the economy moving. But it is incredibly wasteful, and it will just be turfed at some point when no one knows what it all is.
