Car Wash and Thermometer Failure
After a car wash at the car wash my thermometer is disabled for hours and reads 79* regardless of the actual outside tempature. ANyone else experiencing this "failure"?

Check to see that the temperature sensor has not been dislodged. On the earlier W203s it looks like a small black nipple sticking out of a hole below the front bumper to the left of the passenger side foglight.

Youare exactly right. I pushed mine in by mistake and ever since then I have had a incorrect reading, very high. Now I know what to do!!

The temp sensor on my 04.5 SS is the most accurate temp gauge on any car I've ever owned.
