What are these?

I'm in the process of installing back my TA front and am wondering what this is and if I need to install it on the TA bumper somehow. (Sorry for the bad pics)



Also, any idea what this is? It was hanging loose when I took off the oem bumper

I believe that is the outside air temp sensor and yes you do need to re-install it cause I think the computer uses the info for more than just displaying outside temp...

Thanks Chuck... I'll be sure to mount them somehow. Also, any idea what the thing in the second picture is?

you will need someone more familiar with your model than I as to where that second device goes...it could be a collision sensor for the airbag system...does it fit in the end of that 90 degree vertical tube....otherwise I haven't a clue...

Can you provide a clearer picture of the item that you found hanging loose? What is it dangling from? I don't remember anything in that precise location on the shock absorber strut of my car.

The other item is the OAT sensor and will function properly if it is in its circular hold clip or just dangling loose as long as it is up in front of everything else.

First is the temp sensor as Chuck indicated - you do need to mount that in place (factory location is a receptacle on the bumper skin).

I can't make out the second pic to tell what it is...
