🔧 What Is This Part?
The Thermistor Assembly-A/C Evaporator is a critical temperature sensor located inside your vehicle's air conditioning evaporator housing. Its job is to continuously monitor the evaporator core temperature and send real-time data to the AC control module. This prevents the evaporator from freezing over and ensures optimal cooling performance inside the cabin.
