Hot or not

Do you think that I should try blowing some air down through there to start. Might be a dead bug or something?
Can I just pry off the grill?

You could try blowing in the vent just in case it's blocked with dirt but I suspect you'll want to remove the glove box liner so you can look inside to check on the two wires to the sensor and also see to the hose that pulls air past the sensor. I think it's also possible to look into the vent with a small powerful (LED?) flashlight and see the sensor. It's a little blob the size of an aspirin. The little grille cannot be pried out -- it's locked from the underside. All you'll do is break it!
The glove box liner pulls out after you pop the little plastic holders and remove the hook on top that the latch engages (2 Phillips screws). The plastic pins are actually in 2 pieces each. Pry up on the center pin carefully with a dull knife and it will come out. The outer part can then be pried out. There are three or four at top and more on the bottom. You'll also have to remove the light fixture, which pries down at the part closes to the lid (door) of the glove box. Pull the fixture out and remove the wires.
