interior temp control sensor 99 V70 replacement

The interior temperature sensor is located behind a tiny grille which is next to the dash switches. My car is Right-hand drive, and it's on the left-hand side row of switches (Left of the steering wheel), along with heated window/mirror switch, TRACS switch e.t.c. The grille in question is the same size as one of these switches. To access it, remove the radio (push in the 2 rectangular bits at the bottom of the radio panel, and 2 handles will spring out, pull 'em!), then you can reach round the back of the sensor, and remove it. It's on a plug, and replacing it will be easy. 'Sup to you to decide if that's the cause of the fault though. If your internal temp readout has broken, this sensor is completely different, and the sensor for this is located on the lower-front bumper (front spoiler if you like), fairly close to where front foglights are mounted. It's a 2-wire device, but no plug nearby. You can cut & join the wires as long as you cover the joint in adhesive-lined heatshrink or similar when you've finished. Hope this helps. Cheers for now.
