Solar Sensor: Description and Operation

The A/C sunload sensor:

-

is located on the top side of the instrument panel.

-

contains a photovoltaic diode that is sensitive to light.

-

has some unspecified resistance across the terminals depending upon the amount of light reaching the photovoltaic diode; therefore the only test
that can be performed is for an internal short circuit.
