Hi guys I have a ´05 Dakota V8 and since I got it, the thermometer located on the roof has inaccurate readings most of the time 10 or 15 degrees above real outside temperature? does anyone had the same problem and if there´s a way to fix it? Regards!

 

You can try replacing sensor it is located behind grill on lower driver side

 

Welcome to the forum. Take a look at the sensor, as djibara said, its right behind the grill. See if the connections are corroded or just replace the sensor.

 

Hi guys thanks for your replies but I haven't got any luck finding the sensor could you please post a picture of its location? I find something that looks like a sensor behind the horns but not sure if that´s what you´re talking about, Regards!

 

Its right there in the front on the right side. My PC is messed up tonight....in the black circle....not the wires hanging loose, the blue colored sensor mounted to the frame part under the light I was installing.

 

Let me help out.

Please mind the rust, yes its worse now.

Thanks guys damn I think mine is missing



I found this hidden behind driver side headlight but its so dirty that I don´t know if its the same, Regards!!

 

That looks like it. Put it in a glass of ice water and see if your temp display changes, if it does, then thats the sensor.

 

Next to the headlight would explain the above normal temps.

 

Yes I pull it out and away from headlight and readings of temp are normal again, thanks to all
