The wires to the interior temperature sensor are routed via two additional plug connections on the heating/air conditioning control.

3. Pull off connector on the interior temperature sensor.

4. Connect ohmmeter to connector A-10 and interior sensor connector pin 5.

Display: < 5 ohms

5. Connect ohmmeter to connector A-12 and interior sensor connector pin 4.

Display: < 5 ohms

6. Connect voltmeter to connector A-10 and ground. Switch on ignition.

Display: 0 Volts

If approx. 5 Volts is displayed, check the wiring for pinching and chafing.
