Where is the SOLAR Radiation Sensor physically located on a 2001 Mercury Sable and how do I get to it?

I have and ETAC problem with constant hot air being circulated. I performed the self test with 025 and 051 codes being high-lighted. So it's either the blend door and/or the solar radiation sensor. I need to test the sensor before trying to replace the door. Where is the sensor physically located and how do I get to it?

    Should be a bubble on dashboard in center close to windshield.I would think your blend door not closing all the way.Check for vacuum at heater valve under hood also.

    Thank you. I read that the dash needs to be removed to access the blend door to replace, is that true? I took the glove box out and reached valve to see if it was operating and i felt it move. Didn’t know what else to do so I put the glove box back and now it works. Boy I would hate to have to remove that dash!

SOURCE: air flow sensor has been replaced 3 times.

What are the codes? First of all check for any lean conditions such as a vacuum leak for example. If you cannot come up with anything causing a lean condition then you may have a short in your wiring or a possible bad ECU.
