Temperature Gauge - Outside Temperature Sensor
16. Mar 2008 at 11:14
 
SmileyI have a 2.6 V6 Elite 2001 model, and my temp gauge on the computer seems to have moved, due to the fact it is regerstering an incorrect temperature (Hotter than it really is, approx 10degrees). Does anyone know where this thing is, or any other ideas of what this issue may be.
Many thanks

the outside temp sensor is in the middle of the front bumper, right at the bottom under the number plate, you can see it in the bumper grille

mine went dodgy a while back when there were floods cos i'd drove thru some shallow water

Thanks. The only thing I can see apart from the fans is a black box. Is that it? I was expecting a cable with a probe on the end?
Sorry for being a bit lame with this.

Hi Jackruss and welcome to OOF. Smiley

Just had a similar problem with mine - turned out to be broken wire.
They can be a bit prone to going on the blink during heavy rain as water gets in the connectors and corrode them causing intermittent contact.
