Outside Temperature Sensor Connection
I recently purchased a 2006 S430. Love the car and it was really taken care of -- but there's one problem. The A/C is only blowing from the center and when the temperature is set to LO. I checked the codes and the outside temperature shows as -40C. So the outside temperature sensor seemed to be the problem.
I bought the sensor and went to install it but there are no wires! I found the little bracket for the sensor and have searched the entire front of the car and I can't find any evidence of the wire. I also looked for diagrams to show where the wire connects so maybe I could trace it backwards but can't find the diagrams either.
Any help would be awesome!

it connects to the from SAM. Brown/Green and Green wires. They will be on the 20 pin connector. Pin 3 and pin 14.
Front SAM is located below the fuses and relays on the driver side engine compartment fuse box.
