Overhead console temperature display

How do I get my '99 overhead console to display outside temperature? I've tried in the past (then got over the idea), but the sensor behind my grill kept mocking me while I installed the new headlight harness the other day, so now I need to know! Any suggestions? Thanks.

On my overhead it is the first one displayed.

Mine goes like this while pushing the STEP button :

BLANK --> Temp/compass --> Trip odometer --> Instant MPG --> Average MPG --> Hour meter --> Blank.

The temp should be right there with the compass heading. If not, you may have a faulty sensor or a loose wire.

How do you like that, if you hold down both buttons the mode will switch from compass degrees to temperature degrees. Another Ram mystery answered!
