Wanted: Outside Temp Sensor

[Dilogoat86]

I'm looking for an outside temp sensor. Well, I'll buy one unless it can be fixed somehow. It constantly reads 20C and never changes. Makes me smile though.

you sure your control unit isn't knackered, your interior heat doesn't seem to work either.

The outside temp sensor has never worked in the time I've known the car but the heating has always worked until recently. It's very comical pressing it when someone is in the car and convincing them that it is 20C outside.

Do you know where the sensor is in the car? think it's in the front bumper but not sure.

while were on the subject. does the outside temp sensor read below zero degrees? during the cold spell last few days it just always reads zero degrees outside. that norm al or should it be going below zero?

[Dragonheart]

Think mine goes below 0 all right, vaguely remember it hitting -2 or -3 last year.

[Dilogoat86]

As far as the manual says it's in the front bumper on the driver's side light area.

[Sebastian]

afaik is between the rad and the bumper you can easily see it.

Not only does it read below zero, it also beeps when it hits freezing.
I was delighted when I noticed, it's great to find something new like that

[Wildhound]

Yeah mine#s been bleeping all week to warn me when it hit 0, thought that was cool. Also it read -7 the other night which was about right.
