Ambient temperature switch

Good morning and how are you all. I have a 2014 F350 that I'm getting a -40° message on my instrument cluster.
I believe the previous owner replace the mirrors with aftermarket makes.
I removed the mirror last night after work . I do not see a sensor in it. So I don't know if the wires were removed.
I was reading another post, now I can't find it . That post the member stated he was having similar issues. A respondent said that the wires at the harness should be pin 12, yellow/green and pin 13yellow/violet. Is that the same color for the wire harness and the sensor wire?
I cannot find the ambient temp sensor . I'm thinking previous owner replaced the mirror, bought lesser aftermarket brand and perhaps removed the wire?
I will check again tonight to see if there is an open pin location at 12&13.
thanks and good day.

So I took the panel off again. The two wires on the harness that feed the temp sensor are hooked to nothing . By that I mean the wires that should go up to the mirror were removed
