Well, I have been attacking the climate control system lately, and have successfully replaced pin that connects the center vent pod to the center vent flap with a small machine screw, and in the process I had to remove the rubber piece that connects the duct to the external vents and the cabin temperature sensor.

The sensor, when I went to put it back in after I got the rubber piece almost completely on (is there some trick I'm missing to getting it on?), was snapped in half. I have both halves, and I will post up some pictures of it in a few minutes, but I clearly need a replacement.

After looking it over, I can find no part number, and searching the parts catalog returns nothing that resembles it.

First, can I solder this or is the circuit board somehow involved in sensing the temperature?

Second, where can I get this sensor?
