I called Mark at Vettenuts for an outside temp sensor mine was bad and when replaced the temp was right on.....Is that the only problem?

FIND A NEW SHOP!

You most likely have a bad temp sensor. Its inside the radiator air intake at the front of the car, passengers side. Its a little black stick looking thing!

We have every part you need to fix your Vette.

The Ext temp sensor is $18 shipped.

My car was reading -37 so the ac would not come on. Then it would start to come back up and it would start working again. It turned out to be the head unit internally. If yours is not working at all im sure its the ext sensor.

Paypal is sales@vettenuts.net and be sure to include the part you purchased in the notes and we will ship today!

Check the wires and connector as this of often the problem. New sensor from rock auto is less than 10 bucks. You can probably get it at any of the larger parts stores locally.
