ambient temperature sensor

[amryindc]

I just got a new in dash unit and the out door temp is reading -30c. I wanted to know if I should go ahaid and replace the sensor or 8 button comp? And if I do have to replace the sensor, where is the darn thing?

Thanks

Replace the sensor, mine is located in the driver side brake vent, should be a yellow nipple looking sensor just hanging out.

Hi
yea i got same problem on my 1990 model but mine only reads -22 !! iv bought a secound hand one but it dont work but i did find that if you touched the wires together it goes up to 168 !!! so i guess this proves the OBC and wiring is ok. anybody know the cheapest place to get a new sensor from?????????
By the way the sensor is in the Passenger side brake vent behind the foglight
