Vehicle is a 2006 Chrysler Town & Country van owned by a co-worker. She indicates that the outside, ambient temperature display in the overhead console is stuck on -40 deg F. It never changes and is not functioning. She said the temperature display worked correctly until the battery was replaced. Now it will not change temperature.
She said that she looked through the owner’s manual but could not find a procedure for resetting / recalibrating the display to get it to work properly. At first I thought it might be a failed sensor but since it happened when power interruption occurred (battery replacement) maybe there is a reset procedure? I have browsed the internet looking for a solution but all I seem to find is the process to toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Maybe this is a coincidence and the outside temperature sensor has failed??? Thoughts???
