Hi,

I was washing my car (01 996 c2) the other day and notice this thing for the first time, it looks like its unplugged to something... my car still runs perfectly. Please help me id what it is and what it does. Thank you.

 

Looks like an outside air temp sensor.

 

Sorry for the BIG pictures, and thank for the quick reply, am i missing a bracket of some sort? its just hanging there

 

It should secure a little bit farther back so it is not visible.

 

yup outside temp sensor....

 

That, actually is an indicator that your car is a male....

 

^^lol!

 

that was my first instinct as well

 

Porsche OEM deer whistle.

 

LOL, it does dangle when I drive

but seriously, how do i strap this to the car.... I cant wait to hear the answers

 

Outside temp sensor. It simply snaps into place into a blk round plastic bracket just slightly back where it is hanging. If you get down low (on all fours) you can easily see it.

 

It should move back inside the bumper opening as the weather gets cooler.

 

Zip Ties.

 

probably came unplugged:

 

This is late...but LOL
