Outside temperature guage question
Mine reads -22 degrees. Is there a way to fix this? I've searched around and found that there is a sensor in the front grill? Where exactly is this located and what does it look like? Also, will an incorrect outside temperature reading affect the interior climate control system?
Thanks
Zac

Ok- was just wondering because the hvac temp set at like 69 is pretty hot in my car, and it has to be on max cold for the a/c in the summer, and from what i've read that's not common.

95BlackSC,
The outside temp. sensor does affect the hvac system. I know because the plug that connects to the sensor on my car is broken and occasionally it looses the connection, the temp display shows -22 and the car get very hot inside.

outside temp sensor
Yes, you definitely need a properly functioning temp sensor to get the AC to work correctly. I've found that with an inop sensor, the AC tends to be all on, or all off, not a lot of control over intermediate temperatures. I'd check the voltage output from the sensor, and the wiring, and if not correct, get a new one, that should solve your problems.

Is the temp. displayed next to the time? Or do you have to toggle the display to get the temp?

Hmmm... how?
Mine doesn't seem to toggle no matter what I press on the dash. The buttons simply reset the clock.
