				On my 2009 G Cherokee dashboard , located just behind the reverse sensor display, is what looks like an oversized led. It doesnt light up though. 
What is it ? not sure if its alarm or climate system  :017:

rain/light sensor?
not sure i think theyre covered by the unit up behind the mirror . Dont know for sure though  :icon_biggrin:

				It's the sun sensor, used for auto headlights.
			
 
			
			- 
				its the sense sensor not normally known to come on
			
 
			
			- 
				If it's like earlier systems, it's a solar sensor, it helps the climate control regulate cabin temperature.

				Sun sensor makes a lot of sense, not sure it does the headlights though  :017:
Thanks for the answers. Conclusion is best not to cover it up with my snooper  :icon_winkle:
			 
			
			- 
				rain sensors are normally placed behind the rear view mirror at the top of the windscreen
