    Since i bought my car in June I noticed the outside temp on the climate control was never reading correctly. It would say 34* when it was really 97*
    does anyone know how to fix this?

    Probably just a bad sensor. Consider replacing it.


    Only place you would probably be able to get one however is the junkyard or the dealer. Do you have a junkyard locally?

    Mine was like this when I bought it too. It was the sensor. It's really not very expensive at all from the dealer and is pretty easy to change. It's up in front of the radiator took me 5 min to change. My A/C wouldn't work on auto because of it being bad.

    Did this fix it? I have seen other posts on here stating that its just a matter of changing the wiring too to change to farenheit from celsius.
