The electronic climate controls are one of the few things I miss about my LeSabre. But then again, I'm a major Geek, and almost anything slightly computer-ish gets me kinda sticky
And... I'm pretty sure the "black ball thingy" in the middle of the dash is the light sensor, thus the warning not to cover it

I thought thats waht the black thing was at first but its not the light sensor. Its on the left hand side, a round black circle with a blue dot in the middle. Cover it up in the daytime and in 3 secs. the lights come on. I tried it. The black ball didn't work. So bonnieSSE was right. Its the thermometer. Tempeture sensor thingy. Well Ilike I said the security doesn't work. I wish I remembereed my RPO'* that way I could tell if i had that feature.

Ah, always nice to have stuff work when its there... I remember when we bought our 91 transport they asked if we wanted the security system.. It used a second key that was an electronic kinda key under the dash. The car wouldnt start unless both were in at all, but we didn't want it. So they tuned it off, and kept the key and we had that little hookup key thing just sitting there...
