Default External Temperature control

The external temperature on my '00 vert is not working. Last week, when it was in the 90's, it registered 32. Is there an easy fix for this or do I need to take it to the shop. Also, my wipers only work when I hit the wash button. Any answers? Thanks!

While I have never done it, I am told that there is a sensor that is located below the front bumper on the right side that needs to be replaced. It is not very expensive and an easy fix for your problem.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt since you only have 8 posts, but if you'll use search you can find this picture because I've posted it about 10 times. Also it will make it easier to help you if you'll fill out your profile. You can raise the hood, reach down to the frame and pull this temp probe ***'y out (it's held by a press in plastic holder to the frame) and lift it up to replace the sensor. It's cheap and easy. You might make sure yours is still connected before you buy a new one.
