Hi,
I've only just noticed after 5 months of owning my car that the outside temp display isnt working :S
Any ideas what the problem could be here?
Thanks 
Luke.

1st I would do is make sure the plug for sensor is plugged in, on lower end models is a long thin plug behind passenger wirror (were you get to the bolts inside car) i assume 180 Would be same or similar but unsure,

Does the mirror have the little dimple under the passenger mirror?
The wire should be in the normal 3*3 or 5*2 connector
