Out side temp sensor
« on: 28 November 2012, 21:33:31 »

Dash display has been stuck on 12.5c for most of the day despite being sure it was much colder than that ::).

Tonight it changed down to 11.5c but this is still a long way off correct >:(

Does this sound like a new sensor is required or can the display be reset some how as have pressed end of steering column stalk but makes no difference.  :(

    I had the same problem. Corrosion of the multiplug teminals is the cause. they can be cleaned but may have to be cut and remade off if severe.
