    I tried searching with no luck. My outside temp reading is way off. Stuck at 79 when it’s 110 in AZ right now. Where is this sensor located and what have you guys done to fix it? Thx

    I just recently noticed the same problem ever since parking the truck in the garage. So I figured it just needs time to adjust once it’s outside but I’d drive it for a good 20/30
    Minutes and don’t see it change temp

    Behind the grille low on the driver side (see illustration). At 104* F, the resistance across terminals should be 0.80 to 1.00 kohms. If resistance doesn't meet spec, you replace the sensor.
