Today is the first really warm day in CT in a while, so I was surprised when my climate control ext temp was reading only 53 degrees. Do I need to change that sensor, and if so, where is it located? I'm wondering if maybe it got wet or something when i did a car wash this morning.

It's behind the front bumper, on the passenger side.

Last time I bought one from the dealer it was about $7, that was about 5 years ago.
Real easy to change. Either go from under the bumper or remove the pass side grill and it should be right there.

I just changed mine like 2 months ago because the temp reading was way off. Its a real easy job to replace it, just follow everybodys instructions and you will be fine.

I'm just waiting on Awful Zone to ship it in. It's at the other store two towns over, and its taking three days to get it... I can live with it for now though.
