My radio's weather gauge is stuck on 31 degrees...anyone else have this happen?

dkp2LT · 03-10-2012, 03:35 PM

Happens everytime it's one degree below freezing!

Sorry...

jkemp16 · 03-10-2012, 03:43 PM

What's weird is it just went up to 39...but its definitely close to 60 degrees here today...

This doesn't answer your question, but in the summer when the temp is 90+, mine shows weird temps like 70-something after I wash it, until I drive down the road.

My thinking is the sensor gets wet.

But, I don't notice it when it's raining and in your situation, there would have to be ice on your sensor, so who the hell knows.

Would like to know where the sensor is, though.

Definitely sounds like it's shorting out somewhere within the sensor. Sorry I can't be more help - maybe try taking it to the dealership?

I don't know if this will work but go into your radio settings (push in on the "select" button on the radio tuner). Somewhere in your "settings" is an option to "reset factory settings". This won't work if it is a bad sensor, but my outside air temp completely disappeared a few days ago and I did this and it's been fine ever since.

That was my guess especially since 90deg F is 32deg C, but still doesn't jive.

And Comrando...definitely, its a DD, no garage queen here.
