EXT Temp not reading right????

I have a 2002 coupe. A few weeks ago my battery died and now my exterior temp display on the digital display will only read 69*. I was wondering if anyone new of a fix for this or has encountered the same problem. Thanks for any input you might have.

The fix is to replace the ext. temp sensor.

Before you replace the sensor try unpluging and resetting the connector. I knocked mine loose (working on the headlights) and that fixed it.

Wish I had some pics to show you, but, someone on here certainly will. Its on the front , passenger side, by the bottom of the radiator. Just follow it down and you will see it.

Here is a link to a diagram that should help:

Thanks to 65GGvert.

Thank you very much. This helps tremendously. I think it probably got knocked loose during Vararam install.
