Exterior Temp Sensor help needed...
Greetings..... '97 turbo
The dash outside temp indicator is showing 'LO' What does this mean?
I think this is some sort if fault message saying the sensor is not working.
A. Where is the outside temp sensor located?
B. Any experience w/ this 'LO' being displayed
C. Will this also cause the blinking lights on my ECC?
(eventually I will pull codes for these)
TIA!!!!

Thanks for responses..update:
I found a sensor at a local salvage yard. Checked part #, and they were the same. Spiced new one in....and still no luck. Agh. The reading on the
dash still says 'LO'.
Bad replacement sensor? I checked the wiring connections. They seem
correct and good.
Thanks..

That's the problem with getting a used part. Might be the vehicle was on it's last leg and that sensor was bad but the owner ran it till it dropped. You can go Rockauto.com and get a good one (new) for $32. That way you'd know if it's the sensor or something else.
Boxpin, nope not a picture of mine. That was a cut and paste job. I've seen mine but I can't remember the positioning of it behind the bumper. I do know the sensor end should be forward or down to access air flow and away from the radiator. I ran across it when I relocated the horns out of the way of the radiator and fabricated mounts to put them where fog lights would be. Ended up replacing them with high output ones as the ones it had, one was dead and the other was on the way out.
