External Temperature sensor

[cupralooks]

Hi Guys and Girls,

Does anyone know there the temperature sensor that feeds through to the display in the car that tells you what the external temperature is on the car?

Need to replace this on my car as the external temperature always reads 50 degrees, even when it is icy outside.

Thanks

I had to replace this too got a new one form seat. You don’t need to take the door card off just take the mirror apart and solder the new one in. I had some trouble getting the mirror apart.

Have fun

What if you didnt have a coat to wear, so you had to go and buy one?
