Default external temp. display

I have an '06 and the external temperature display is no longer working correctly. The highest temp displayed has been 75 degrees when I know the outside temp is considerably higher. Has anyone had a similar experience and if so what did you do? thx

From this thread:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...mp-sensor.html

This is supposed to work:

reset the temp sensor by pressing the following three buttons at the same time:

Rear Defrost (right most climate button)
Front Defog (2nd right most button)
Fan Speed Increase (4th right most button)

This will force an immediate update of the temperature display. This will clear the problem if the temp sensor is working properly. If not, most likely a new sensor will be needed. It's a $10.00 part.

If it won't reset, the sensor my be unplugged , my case, or bad. The sensor display defaults to 75 when the circuit is open.
