Maybe it's broke ? Needs cleaned (Maybe ?), dust & dirt gets into everything & prevents them from working correctly.

Hopefully one of our Super tech member's knows (?) or a member that has had this problem with their temp sensor ? Do you know where the sensor is located ?

Keep checking back... Good Luck!

  • Disconnect the electrical connector from the ambient temperature sensor that is located on the front radiator air baffle.
  • Remove the ambient temperature sensor from the radiator air baffle.

You may need a new sensor. They look pretty simple to change out. You can probably get one for cheap or at a junk yard.
