What is that round thing on the LEFT side of my Dashboard?

According to the Factory Wiring Diagram it's the "A/C Solar Sensor". The "Room Temp Sensor" is behind the A/C Control Assembly.

what is an a/c solar sensor? ac turns on if it sees sunlight?

It is a light sensor. For what, I don't know.

It is light sensor. It automatically turns on the headlight when its dark. For example it will turn on the headlights @ daytime when you are driving through a dark tunnel.

you know what i luv about the solara?? the fact that you can leave your headlights on all night and you never have a dead battery...ahhh..goof proof for idiots like me who usually forget to turn their lights off.

but they turn off autmatically...
(unless you turn them off and back on after you take the key out, or something like that)
