I have a dual control A/C control on my 98 vette. The outside temp normally reads a lot less then actual. I usually ignore this except that once in a while it reads in the 30's. This causes my A/C to shut off and when the temp is 105+ degress outside, the interior gets very hot very quickly. Does anyone know where this sensor is?

Mine does this too and I dunno why. As for the sensor I believe that it is near one of the front turn signals...don't hold me to it though.

The sensor in on the passenger side in by the radiator shroud under the hood.

Go to the C5 Tech Section and do a search. I had to replace one on a Trailblazer. It was a easy fix once I knew where it was. Good luck.

Awesome! You can always count on forum members to come through. And you know what they say about a picture. Can't wait til I have some free time so I can change the sensor....Thanks.

Always find good info here. My sensor tends to "trip" sometimes too. May look into changing it out.

Hi guys -

I would add that it is an easy - 5 minute, pop in and plug in job to change the sensor, and it costs less than $10 even at a GM dealer, and they usually have a handfull in stock..

best regards-

Here's a diagram that someone posted that may help

mine did this one day after getting it hand washed at the local detail wash. the next day it worked fine. i chalked it up to water build up around the sensor...my buddies went wacko permanently and we just replaced it. easy job, the above diagrams are spot on.

I thought the sensor was $17 at my local dealer.....

just got mine done the other day at the stealer...costed about $11 and I just asked to have a tech come out and throw it in for me. They will do it free of charge and it will save you the aggravation

Mr.Bill

aggravation, It's a 3 min job, I did mine in the lot at the dealer, I guess to some it might be more of a job than some can handle...
By the time the tech would of come out there it could of been done.

Maites

well you do need a small screw driver to lock it in from the side so it wont fall out...no i dont carry those with me at all times...and I also was in a suit and tie and wasn't tryin to reach my arm down there at the moment and get dirty... Nor did I want to wait till i got home later....they offered, I just asked to show me where it was located

Sensors are not that expensive!

Easy to change and a cheap part to buy - one of the few things that are on the car.

Mr.Bill
