Ambient temperature sensor.

Or according to one previous member... a spy camera

Maybe a "HYBRID" driver sensor! Watch how you move your hands.

Thanks for that. Now I need to make sure my dash mat has a hole there for the sunload sensor that I didn’t know existed.

We prefer the term "remote activated peep hole", those Ford guys are a bunch of pervs

What does the sunload sensor do? and why would they put it where it is hidden by sunshades?

It's for calculating how much incoming heat from the sun there is when the climate control is running in auto to compensate.

It's usually only in use while driving, and sunshades are not original equipment anyway.

Pretty sure that is also the sensor that is used to trigger the automatic headlights.

RE: Sunload sensor = I will no longer ponder why my Mav and indeed most 21st century motor vehicles are so complex and why things go awry.

I’d trade my Mav in for a Cybertruck if ‘HAL’ was at the wheel! NOT!!!
