not if it never had one, I think it runs from there to behind the battery to another plug but I'm not spotting the right color combo wires there.

Mine didn't have the overhead console or the temperature sensor stock and had the wiring where Slugger mentioned it should be. It could be dependant on the year or the guy on the assembly line though.

Are you denying someones answer to your question?

It should be there, right where slugger said. It's going to be the only empty plug around that area, shouldn't really need to trace any wires.

well, there is nothing in that area until I get up to the top of the header panel, no pigtail hanging down, so, yes I deny the answer.

finally had time to dig, there was a 2 wire connector buried right behind the battery, spliced into it and ran to the sensor.
