Outside Temp gauge
Tried this on electronics section to no avail so I'll try here. The gauge showing outside temp is reading about 10-15 degrees low on my 2006 Sport. Anybody know the fix ? Is it most likely a bad sensor ?Anyone had this done by dealer or is this a do-it-yourself item. Thanks.

I'm beginning to think I'm the only one who ever had this problem.

I know the sensor is behind the front grill, in front of the radiator. Maybe check that and make sure it isnt damaged. Mine is usually within a few degrees after driving for a bit. Sorry, dont know much else.

Thanks, Nate. I'll take a look. From where you say it is, worst case scenario, replacing it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
