Do you guys know what cable that is (see my attachment)? It just suddenly left unsecured like that from my car.

That looks like the ambient temperature sensor behind the front bumper. Did you take the bumper off recently?

KuzuRyuuSen

yeah, i think so. a week ago, i asked the car service to check my front bumper. btw, do you know how to put it back, i mean where it should be secured to?

Sure. There is a hole on the backside of the metal crossmember behind the bumper where that plastic push pin goes into, and also there's a mounting point on the underside of the same crossbrace for the sensor itself. You'll have to take off the bumper to secure it properly.

I'm wondering what the hell did that service do that they had to detach the sensor. Why did you ask them to "check the front bumper"? Check what?

my front bumper wasn't aligned properly, so i ask them to check it, they said most likely someone has tempered it.

actually i found the hole on the metal of crossmember, but it couldn't fit.
i found another hole behind the bumper grill (in front of air intake), i think it will fit there, but it's hard to do.
if you don't mind, can you take a picture where the sensor is located?


the reason i want to fix this by myself is because the mazda car service here is quite far from my place, it's about 1.5 hours drive from my place.

thx

It's kind of hard to take a pic that will help because I sure won't remove my entire bumper - but here is one. The round thing marked with the red circle is the sensor. It's hard to see because of the grille and my RB cold air duct, but it's there.

wow. thanks alot. that's the one that i found yesterday, i think i got the right one. i didn't succeed to put it there and it's really hard to do. then i started thinking if i got the wrong hole. i'll try it again today. thx for your help.
