The outside temp thing reads 187? Sounds like someone ripped the sensor off your car. Does the fog light work?

the temp sensor is mounted to your foglight mount so when your foglight got ripped out, your sensor did to.. The wire for your foglight go up top into the engine bay. its wrapped in a black wrapping along with some other wires.

If you had these pieces already disassembled, is it possible that they were handing down and you drove over them, ripping them off?
