Detailed Product Overview

Dorman 902-028 is engineered as a replacement ambient air temperature sensor for Ford and Lincoln vehicles across multiple model years, including the Ford Edge, Escape, F-150, Explorer, Fusion, and Transit Connect, plus Lincoln applications such as MKX, MKT, MKC, Continental, and Navigator. It is designed to restore accurate outside temperature measurement when the original sensor is damaged, inaccurate, or no longer responding correctly. This part cross-references Standard Ignition AX352 for the same application.

Common Issues This Sensor Can Address

• Incorrect outside temperature display on the instrument panel
• HVAC temperature control behavior affected by a faulty ambient sensor
• Temperature readings that fluctuate, freeze, or read far outside actual conditions
• Sensor damage from road debris, weather exposure, or connector wear
• Replacement needs on Ford F-150, Ford Edge, and Lincoln MKX applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and mounting style before installation. This sensor uses a square female connector, 2 terminals, and clip-on mounting, and it does not include a wiring harness. Confirm vehicle-specific placement and inspect the connector and harness for corrosion or damage before installing Dorman 902-028.
