Sail fog sensor issues
Summary of the thread
A 2018 Chevrolet Sail diesel with 111,509 km is experiencing issues related to a fog sensor error, affecting the AC, spray nozzles, and mirror heating. The problem is suspected to be a defective cable or plug connection, specifically a corroded connector on the sensor harness. The solution involved visiting a workshop where the corroded connector was repaired, resolving the issues for a cost of 95€.

Yeah, it's bizarre, right? The error code definitely points to the fog sensor. I found someone on another forum who had similar symptoms and said it was a corroded connector on the sensor harness. I tried wiggling it like you suggested, but no luck. Any idea where the fog sensor is actually located in the car? I haven't been able to spot it yet!

Okay, corroded connector makes sense, especially if it's all happening at once. To be honest, I'm not sure exactly where it lives on the Sail. But maybe with that error code, it's time to visit a workshop. Sounds like something only they can solve.

Yeah, you're probably right. Gave up and took it to the workshop. Turns out it was exactly what we suspected – a corroded connector on the fog sensor. Cost me 95€ to get it sorted, but at least everything's working again. Appreciate the help!

Whoa, that's a bunch of stuff going wrong at once! A/C, spray nozzles, and mirror heating all tied to the fog sensor? Seriously? I've never heard of anything like that on a Sail. Are you sure it's definitely the fog sensor? Where did you read about the cable connection thing? Maybe try wiggling the connector to the sensor and see if anything changes?
