Location of outside ambient temperature sensor ..

Putting a front end back together that I didnt take apart ... could someone take a pic or post a good description of where the outside ambient temperature sensor is located behind the grill on a 2005-2007 model?

I "think" its clipped somewhere on the LH side of the header panel .. but not sure exactly where.

Here it is on mine. It was an add-on, but I do believe this is the correct location.

Is that on the hard-plastic grill reinforcement panel or the flexable rubber air deflector?

(thanks for the pic by the way!)

Not sure of the terminology, but it is hard plastic.

Looking for the same thing

I have a 2008 F250 XLT but when I got it, I didn't see the temperature displayed anywhere. It came with the standard power mirrors and I recently upgraded to towing mirrors but I don't believe it has any kind of temperature sensor. I looked near the radiator and along the front and didn't see anything that resembles a sensor but there is one piece, that could possibly be it. I was hoping you guys could help me out. I'm thinking about installing an Explorer overhead console that will display the temp and the compass but I want to be sure that I don't already have the sensor in my vehicle.
