Outside air temp sensor - WHERE?!?
« on: 05 June 2009, 19:30 »
I posted this a while back but didnt really get help...
Now, on the MFA I dont get the outside air temp reading, it just skips it, from oil temp to clock.
I know its supposed to be behind the drivers side lower bumper air intake, but I cannot find it at all.

Where is it exactly, where do the wires run through? Pics of the sensor itself and of the length of the wireing and exactly where they go into would be perfect. Cheers guys.

it should definitely be clipped into the drivers side lower bumper vent. Do you have an empty hole in it then?
