Outside Air Temp
Well, my outside air temp indicator is stuck at 69 degree's dosen't vary at all. Looking in the manual seems as though the sensor is near the radiator shroud. I'm thinking its a bad sensor or bad connection. Anybody else have a failure of the OAT sensor or a similar problem?

yes many like myself and you have had the same problem.
Your a/c will stop working because of it also. The outside air temp connection corrodes causing a bad connection. The sensor is about 9 bux and if u do not have to replace the connector that is all you will need to replace.
I had to replace the connector and that will run you another 25. The pins corroded and broke off in the connection of mine.
simple fix

Thanks guys when I get time tonight I'm going to put the car up on ramps and take a look. I'm going to go buy a new sensor today as well so I'll keep you posted. Thanks again.
