28 Degrees in Nashville
My car says the outside temperature today in 28 degrees. The worst thing about this is the air conditioner won't come on. The temp sensor has been acting pretty goofy for a couple of weeks but this is the first time it has read below 32. I called the dealer and they said bring the car and leave it for a day and they will diagnose the problem and fix it. I imagine the sensor has simply gone bad. Does anybody know the part number for the ambient temp sensor? I am not about to leave my car at the dealer for a day so they can tear it up.

First easy question...
Are you sure you're not stuck in Metric units?
28 C is 82 F, and today is a very nice day in Nashville...
Anyway, have you set any DTC codes?
Pull them by pressing and holding the OPTIONS button and pressing the FUEL button four times.

Easy and cheap fix. My ext temp sensor went haywire and the dealer part is around $8,also add the push connector with it for 30 cents. If the ext temp reads too low the ac will not work. Do a search here and the fix will take around 15 mins.
