Default Introduction

Just wanted to introduce myself to this forum. I just purchased my first Corvette! I have a 2014 stingray LT3 with only 13,000 miles and it's beautiful!
Getting new rear tires today since it's still has the original tires on the rear.
I also own a 2005 Mustang, slightly modified, with only 21,000 original miles, garage kept, etc which is currently for sale.
Looking forward to reading the threads from everyone and learning more about my new Corvette.

Default Climate control issues

Thanks for all the replies! Im looking forward to reading posts.
I already had a minor issue last night, but its being taken care of at the dealership today (hopefully)
After stopping for gas last night the outside temp sensor stopped working, then the climate control started acting strange. The outside temp was about 76 and I had the inside set to about 68 degrees, but after the sensor stopped working, All I had was full HOT air. I either had full cold air when set on "Low", 61, or 62 degrees, or full hot when set on 63 degrees or higher, and the ac compressor was on constantly even when the button was switched off and it was blowing HOT air.
I hope replacing the outside air temp sensor corrects all the issues. I'll update this thread when I get the car back.

Default Climate control problem solved

Just wanted to follow up and let everyone know the climate control issues with my 2014 Corvette LT3 have been fixed.
The outside air temperature sensor, which the dealer referred to as the ambient air temperature sensor was replaced which corrected all the strange problems I was having with my climate control system. Everything is working perfectly now.
