Outside temp sensor

[SHOstuff]

I think my outside temp sensor is going out because when I press the button to check the temp outside, it gives me a temp I know its not. It's not like its a couple degrees off but like over 10 or even 15 degrees. Do I have to replace it or can I just clean it? Its in the front by the radiator, am I correct?

Mine was bad on my 95. There not expensive. I'm sure you could clean it with some crc electronic cleaner but I think it would be worth it to replace it. On mine it was mounted to a bracket in front of the radiater not hard to get to at all. I will say mine was a pain to get off the bracket. I believe it pulls up as ambient temp sensor or air charge sensor I forget which one.

Where can I get one from?

I got mine from oriellys but I'm sure advance or auto zone has them to.it been about a year but I think mine cost about 14 bucks if I remember correctly. I think sho source has one as well

Check the connection first for corrosion. They are resistive sensitive devices.
