The temp sensor probably came loose and is close to something that's that hot. They are usually connected somewhere down by the radiator. Look around for any loose sensors.
Will look thank you!

No that’s not the compass degrees. It read the same on the instrument cluster behind steering wheel. We watched it steadily rise from the right temperature all the way to 122°

Sounds like the temp sensor maxed out to its max rated spec. This types of failure happens to all analog sensors when the circuit is completely opened or completely closed.

Completely opened means the wire is disconnected/cut, or the sensor failed into an open state internally.

Completely closed means the wires are shorted, or the senor failed into a shorted state internally.

Interesting bug. Mine could never keep the proper time for a while. Manually set it and come back to it being different. Set it to auto mode and it would be something different. Played this game 3-4 times and now it has been correct all week.

If the sensor is in the mirror, the door connector shouldn't be in play?

Looks like you were jamming to a song of The Who’s Tommy album.

does disconnecting the battery for a while then re-connecting do anything for the temp setting?
