Sun Sensor error B1340

In doing an OBD2 test on my 2005 CLK500 cabriolet, I found the error B1340 "Communication error of AC bus with component b32/2 (AAC sun sensor error (4 in total)) I can't see a sun sensor on the dash of my convertible. Any idea where it/they might be?

I do have the dreaded clicking under the dash, but the AC is working.

I aslo get these:
B1100 Normalizing failut
B15C0 Right fresh air flap
But I'm not certain that's associated with the sun sensor question.

is it located on the back of the rear view mirror, or located in the top of the hood near the windshield, if there are vents there.

THANKS, that explains it. I had to remove my hood fir repairs and the washer hose and other wires are disconnected currently. That probably is why this, previously non-existant, error popped up now.

I'll wait till the hood is back on to further explore.

Thanks again.
