Default ambient temp problem

My ambient temp reading is stuck on 50. I would think that because of this, the A/C in not working. Had it charged and the dealer said it was good. They said I needed a new HVAC head unit, so I got another one and no change. They said the ambient temp sensor not working did not matter, but I think it does matter. What is the right answer before I waste more money?

Year of car matters! What year is your car? You bought a new, used or rebuilt control?
