Default 34 degrees in Missouri

At least that's what the external temp reading was on my climate control. Temp was probably 80+. Is there a temp sensor for these things or do you have any thoughts on correcting the problem? It seems that the air conditioner is tied in with the ambient temp. When it read 34, the air coming from vents was barely cool. Later, it went to 42 degrees and then air was then cold.

The sensor is located on the bottom of the Radiator Shroud on the pass side...

I unplugged mine when i replaced my shroud and forgot to plug it in - it started to read 69 degrees when it was 30 - and the defroster wouldnt work because it thought it was warm out...

Damn computers.

Could you be in Celcius? That would be about 92 degrees F.

It's Fahrenheit. I found the temp sensor (I think). It looks like one of those things that is easy to replace but a bear to get to.
