outside air temp. sensor???
My dad has a 2000 coupe and his outside air temperture sensor is going crazy. It probably just doesnt believe it is really 119 outside 
ifthe air conditioner is on, the outside air temp will go down to around 50 degrees. does anyone know where this sensor is so i can replace it? or has anyone had this issue and know of any kind of fix?
thanks!!!

The new sensor will not immediately record accurate temp. The HVAC module takes a while to "learn". In my case, it was about 20 min of driving.
Also, FWIW, my 99 works best in Man mode. Cannot explain why.

Can anyone tell me how to get the Outside air sensor out of it's little hiding place ? I see there is a screwbut not sure if it is supposed to be screwed out or just popped out by prying it with the screw driver. ?Not a lot of working room in there.
