Default Question about temperature sending unit for ext air temp...

On the 98 Vert that I just bought - I noticed that the outside air temp shows up approx. 25 degrees too cool.. Where is the sensor for the outside air temp located and how difficult is it to replace it?

Thanks in advance

Olivier

I believe it is located on the passenger side sticking thru the lower radiator shroud in the front pass side. You need to get car up in the air and take out several bolts to get behind the shroud to unclip the wiring harness and unmount the sensor.

that is correct, if you look up into the shroud area, you will see it sticking in. It is low and on the passenger side, just ahead of the radiator.
