Outside temperature gauge

[Woody5187]

Hello. The outside temp gauge that is part of the A/C system has suddenly started giving out temperatures that are completely out of wac; -7 when it is 22 C outside. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it?

Sounds like I need a new sensor, so if someone could tell me where it is located I would very much appreciate it. Searched this and many forums and nothing would come up. If there is something on the forum please let me know and I will be glad to look at it. Many thanks guys!

In front of the radiator near the center on the top on the drivers side.

Thank you for the quick reply. It sounds to me like the sensor needs to be replaced, but I was wondering if the more knowledgable guys out there have any other suggestions.

Also, if this topic has been discussed in a forum, I would appreciate it if someone could point it out to me. Again, many thanks for all your help.

You could try to clean the terminals on the sensor and connector.
