Temp read-out on mirror

I have a 2001 F350 and the temp read-out on the mirror hasn't worked since I got the truck in 2004. Wondering if anyone knows where the sensor is. I found a connector on the back side the core support on the driver's side that has nothing plugged in. Could this be where it should be? Thanks for any help.

That is the correct location, so it makes sense to me.

Thanks Bill. Do you know if that is a dealer only item or if they are available elsewhere?

I think they are easily available. Trick will be finding a part number. I would probably call Tousley Ford and see if they can help sort it out.

Thanks Bill. Anyone know what the part number is? I found what may or may not be the right sensor on a Ford dealers website but I would like to know for sure before ordering it. It is just listed as an ambient air temp sensor. In my repair manual it is listed as an outside air temp sensor.
