Temp sensor
 

Hi there,

I've got a '95 Cherokee and the outside temp display in the centre
console up in the roof goes wacky from time to time.
Can anyone tell me where the actual sensor is located?

Thank you
Dirk Matthee

Behind the front grill. Just in front of the radiator.

Yep, right next to a great source of heat. If you are stuck in traffic,
the reading will climb until you get moving again. On my rather nasty
commute, I've seen it go up to 108 in the stop and go (mostly stop) part
and back down to about 80 after a half mile at 40 mph.

But it nearly always reads a couple of degrees high compared to the
radio reports.

Best Regards,
