HELP with identifying sensor
Need help what identifying a sensor that was chewed off and destroyed, Pictures below show everything I need help with. Some knowledge of what this sensor is called and what it does would be great,
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/5series...a6f8ec56bb.png This is the sensor that was chewed off. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/5series...a52523b66a.png I took the sensor out to inspect it more but I also noticed that this metal pipe it’s attached to go to the front of the car near the fan and has a cap I can twist off (circled in next picture) https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/5series...a7f94b365.jpeg That nozzle is connected to the same sensor I’m clueless about https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/5series...9c45bc13e1.png Picture for better perspective, sensor is located on passenger side behind and below the coolant tank https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/5series...6a2dd5558f.png The chewed off sensor |
That metal pipe is an air conditioning line so that sensor would be a high or low pressure switch, I’m not sure which.

Yes, you munged up the A/C pressure sensor and I'm pretty sure the car now thinks the system is over-pressurized and is running the fan to try and reduce the refrigerant gas pressure in the system.

BTW, the nozzle you circled in red is the high pressure port for the A/C.
