need info from you tech guys
I put on a used Vortex cold air system and now my outside temp. always read 69 degrees, it's over 90 degrees outside. I checked and found that (what I think is the plug in) on the driver's side lower part of the radiator shroud was disconected. I plgged it back in, but it still reads 69 degrees. Will it reset itself after I drive a while?, I drove around the block, but still 69.... Any good advise guys???

I don't know if this will help, but my outside temp gets stuck sometimes too.
I usually just turn the A/C on and then off, then on again, play with the temp control **** for a second and it will start adjusting to the real temp outside.
Pushing buttons and turning ***** randomly solves about 80% of the problems I come accross these days.

Yes.. Assuming you do have the connector seated, it could be dirty contacts.. Excessive resistance will cause false readings. Try to remove, clean, re-install (a few times if necessary), see if that clears it.

If you look real clsoe you will vind two indentical plugs, I have never found out what the other one is nor does my dealer know, but when I did it one worked for the the tem sensor and one didn't, so if one doesn't try the other one.
