Update to the A/C Auto issue

So finally brought the vehicle into the dealer and they checked the IHKA and other possible reasons for the issue. They came up with a "condensation sensor", located behind the rear view mirror. That sensor was bad and tells the IHKA auto unit to turn off the A/C and have the defroster go on full blast. What a great HVAC design. Dealer wanted $759 to fix the issue and I said no thanks. Looked online and the part# 64119115220 is about $130. Attached is a few pics of what the sensor looks like and where its located. One more thing, the sensor did not throw any codes, the dealer had to swap out with a new one to diagnosis that it was that sensor.
