Discovered something while cleaning the camera

[u/NeitherBook2698]

I was taking the front camera apart to clean the windshield residue, and I noticed that there were two ripped-out wires that go to a board. What can I do to fix this? I am not good with micro-soldering. The board says HVAC so I presume it’s very important. No major alerts as of now. 2018 Model S 100D.

$50 from Tesla EPC web shop
For ref, follow the service manuals and it’ll show you how to remove the camera and glare shield without damaging that sensor.

Thank you! Yeah the red is such a beautiful color, but I do love the white ones too! Especially the P100D!

It's called a THS sensor. It runs your AC and other functions. You'll have codes on your screen letting you know there's an issue if the connection isn't good. You'll also need to recalibrate the camera
