Standard Motor Products AX163 Air Charge Temperature Sensor

The Standard Motor Products AX163 Air Charge Temperature Sensor has garnered mixed reviews from customers who have experienced both challenges and successes with its installation and performance. Most notably, users agree that while the part itself is affordable, replacing it can be a daunting task due to the extensive disassembly required to access the sensor behind the dash. Several customers have remarked on the complexity of the installation process, which can take several hours if done the traditional way. However, some have discovered alternative methods to wire the sensor, significantly reducing installation time to around half an hour. This ingenuity has allowed some users to save on installation costs and achieve functionality without going through a lengthy procedure. Once installed, the sensor has received praise for its performance, providing accurate temperature readings and restoring much-needed air conditioning to vehicles. Several users noted that they opted for this aftermarket option instead of the OEM part to save money, and while the initial performance was satisfactory, some experienced failures after a couple of months of use. Overall, the AX163 is regarded as a cost-effective choice for those willing to invest time in the installation, although concerns about durability and longevity linger. **
