Outside temp

[tango]

Hi
My car is not showing the temp outside
It's got F showing on the display
I thought it must be the sensor on the front bumper so I changed that but still the same
Any ideas what it can be

Check & trace wiring back to big black connector under N/S of bumper

Checked the connector
It's a 4 pin plug the one that connects to the fogs too
Seems to be fine
Any other suggestions

[mrjimbo]

Try unpluging the 4 pin connector a few times and give it a squirt of contact cleaner or WD40, may be a little damp/corrosion got in there. Try the same with the temp sensor as well.

There's a lot of salt out there at the moment and it gets everywhere, salt attracts the damp as well

tried wd40 disconecting and then reconecting but still no joy
any other suggestions please

sell the car to me or stick your head out of the window to feel how cold it is

No need to do that . . .

The car is already telling you its "F"-ing cold !!

and the ice on the windows/ snow on the ground might tell you to

sure that it is a working temp sensor you changed it with

If the sensor is OK (very hard to test it) the it's either a broken wire or damp/corrosion in the 4 pin bumper loom plug. I've got a couple of temp sensors here if you want to try a 3rd

As long as it's not showing FFS it can't be too bad!

Mine is showing inaccurate readings, several degrees out... Any ideas?

[Boditza]

the sensor.. change it and you will get as acurate readings as it can get

[kcl]

Changed the sensor to a new one and still giving the F. My plug is only 2-pin plug (the one to which the sensor plugs).

Any ideas?

Does it affect the heater? Seems to blow hot all the time...

As stated above... Check the wiring

I have the same problem! And yes, if you have climate control it does have an effect
