Well that's about it, the compass works, but the display reads 32 F all the time, about once a week, it will give a reading that's pretty close to the real temp. Is this a simple fix with the temp probe/sensor? Where is that? Thanks a lot!

 

When mine did that the sensor was bad.


ooops...forgot to tell you that it's located on the left uprite in front of the tranny cooler ...will have a 10mm headed screw that holds it 2 the upright and have a conector with 2 wires going 2 it. I think it'sw something like a $30 part or so.

 

Mine gets to acting goofy sometimes but it will eventually come back to normal. It bothered me at first but now I don't pay any attention to it. Its located behind the grill.

 

It's usually the sensor, and on my '01 it's on the hood, right behind the grille.

The connector could be corroded, so look, but it's probablly the sensor mounted in hood or front support and is a two wire thingy.

 

Thanks a lot, I'll clean it with electronics cleaner first, maybe that'll help

 

Well the thing works half the time, but I think something else is going on. It seems now that no matter what I have displaying when I turn the truck off (ie economy), the next time I jump in it's always showing the compass/thermo. I don't remember it doing that, should it be resetting like that? There's not any burned out fuses I can see. Ideas? TIA
