I just started having a problem with my exterior temperature reading. When I know it's like 20 degrees F outside, I'm getting a reading of like 127 degrees F. Anyone have a problem like this or know of a fix? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It's one of my favorite features. Thanks, Rich

By the way, it's a 2002.

TRY REPLACING THE OUTSIDE TEMP SENSOR LOCATED BY PASS SIDE OF RADIATOR WITH 2 WIRES ATTACHED THEY TEND TO GO BAD AND WILL READ HIGH WHEN THEY DO

Awesome. I've had a hard time finding someone with a solution. I'll try that! Thanks again.

Does the outside air temperature sensor have anything todo with the interior temperature setting? My 2005 Mountaineer has the same outdoor temp sensor problem but when the inside temp is set to say 20 deg, ithstill seems to blow cold air even when it is colder than 72 outside. I haven't had the truck long and may just need to read the manual closer. Any Ideas?
