Outside temp sensor whacked

[Xycarp]

My display of outside temps has always been several degrees off. Today, whole new level…. Anyone seen this? It was 20f outside.

Happened to me on a previous F150. Dealer replaced the sensor.

Man, those kinds of temperatures can’t be good for the MIC top…

Yup, there are a few of us. They initially found a loose plug and thought they fixed it.... Nope.
Next service visit, they tore into it and found the sensor "had a chip outta it". No parts in Canada... Waiting for it to arrive. Currently on week 2.
Oh, and it'll f*ck up your HVAC, heads up.

Damn…. Just drove again and now my check engine light is on. Will post back in a few days once I get it looked at.

I'd assume this is an off the shelf part, probably used on 95% of Ford products. How is there no inventory stock? Are they failing this much?

Just had my driver side mirror replaced due to this issue. Last Thursday. Ambient temp sensor is in driver mirror.

I now see this in my Ford app…

Happened to me today. 90 degrees when 25... Two weeks till I can get it into the dealer though.

My dealership says theyve had a rash of them since I was in last. 2 weeks ago...
Part is on "emergency order"

Mine bit the dust today too. Showed 100 degrees but outside temp was 25. Seems very odd they are all dying all of the sudden. Mine just did an update on the software, maybe coincidence

My temp was reading 176 degrees F and then went blank. Right after that the check engine light came on. Mine was built the last week of Nov/first week of Dec. anyone else’s built then

Mine was built Dec 13th.

Mine was built in October. Dealer checked it out and said it is the sensor, and the part is on back order… 3 weeks.

Great - so that will mean 6 weeks...
