Dashboard Temp. Sensor?
Hey,
Last night i was driving home and the temperature indicator in the dashboard went crazy!
At first the external temp. indicator was in 17°C and after 30 seconds went to 0.6°C, then 0.5°C (pic taken) and after that oscilates between -5°C and +25°C.
Replacement part? Anyone?

It's in the front bumper, near the ground, left side (driver side in US, passenger side in UK). You should be able to see it poking through, it looks like a little rubber tip pointing forward. You can find the replacement at parts.com, autohausaz.com, your dealer, etc. Should be about $15.

check driver side housing (to the left of the fog light - flat plastic with a protruding point - it is the temp sensor) to see if the sensor has been bumped out/pushed in! ...also check connector and make sure it makes a clean connection...it may not be bad.... if it is, pick one up here... http://www.autohausaz.com/search/pro...ature%20Sensor
