Wierd thing under A/C vents??
Hi there, Under my centermost blower vents on my dash there is a little tiny yellow sensor or something. I Was wondering if anyone knows what this thing is? THANKS

Hi, I will post a pic of it tomorrow. If in fact it is a light i have never seen it come on. It has about a 3/8 diameter face that is a clearish yellow and is completely flat.

It is a light. It shines on the A/C controls and ash tray. Mine is burned out.

Here are some more links about it. The first link has a photo of the light in question.

The light put's a gentle glow at night on the console, gear shifter, etc.
Here's a better look at it . . .
