outside temp?
Dear all,
I went out with my wife tonight to do some shoppings. On our way home, I noticed the outside temp is quite high...then when we stopped at traffic light the outside temp. shows 79F which is 10 degree higher than those two thermostats in the intersection of grand ave. and diamond bar blvd.
Where is the out-side temp. thermostat though? I guess it's the little thing when you face the front bumper of the car, there's a little probe located at lower left hand side. Is it?
How do I know it works or not?

Thanks guys.
but the weird thing is..
at night it's cool and cozy, the temp. should be low and when I left the car in my garage, it still says "79F".. This morning, I checked it again, it now becomes 82F, I don't even start the engine and the engine should be cold after standing there for whole night.
I will take a close look at it then see if I need to bring it in....
Now, counts two...
1.The noise from handling wheel is getting worse... :v
2. thermostat malfunction - pending...
