Exterior temp sensor
My exterior temperature always says 69. Is the sensor bad and if so, where is it?

It's cheap and easy to change. Unplug the old, plug in the new. Check for loose or corroded pins on the plug when you change it. Under the passenger side skid rail, on the frame, near the horn.

Might just be a loose connection,because if you unplug it,the display will default to "69"
Also does that if it's just "bad"
reminds me of an old girlfriend....

I accidentially left mine plugged in when I removed the radiator cover and pulled the wires out, I havent fixed it yet, and my temp stays on 69 also....

At least it is one of the cheaper parts to replace on the car and easy to swap out.
