Hi folks,
One of the things I got for Christmas in a clock/temperature monitor that
tells you what the temperature inside the Jeep is and also what temperature
is outside the jeep. It sticks with sticky velcro anywhere you want to
stick it - I put mine over the glove box so my daughter has something to do
<grin>. My question for the folks is this:

It comes with a lead on a long wire for the outside temp sensor and I am
having an indecisive time coming up with a spot to stick it. The literature
(the deep thought stuff on the packaging) suggests in the door frame, but on
this Jeep the doors are off most of the summer as much as I can get away
with. The idea here is it beeps when freezing to warn for black ice
possibility. It needs to stay relatively dry and not be affected by motor
heat. It has maybe 8 feet of wire. Suggestions?
Thanks folks,
Tomes
02 TJ

 

Between the inside of the grill and the radiator is where the temperature
sensors are generally installed.

I had mine screwed to the inside of the plastic on the front bumper cap.
It got cooked by too much RF! I don't run that much power anymore. I was
afraid I was going to cook the Jeep's ECM after the headlights would get
real bright for a moment after I let off the key. Regulation is a quite
a bit slower then on my AC Delco 120 amper in my big car.

How about inside the vent, just in front of the winsheild?

Completely invisible - you wont see it, and it's out of the way.
