Default Outside temp reading off by 30 degrees!

The thermometer reading the outside temperature was reading off by 30 degrees for while today. Seemed to fix itself. Coincided with my A/C light blinking and A/C not being real cold. Which also fixed itself

Any ideas anyone?

Th you!

Is it fixed already? Intermittent problems are hard to diagnose.

Check to ensure the outside temp sensor is securely plug in. I had the same problem and the sensor was loosely connected.

always post the year of your car in your title.
It is behind the front bumper or just under the rebar.
