Maybe some ice on the temp sensor?

 

Thank god i dont have to worry



about that problem,

That should tell you something about where you live

 

Pigshanks: I know you have had some seriously bone-chilling temperatures the last couple days. Just a guess but perhaps the sensor and/or the computer bottoms out at -40. Why -40? Perhaps solely because that is when the temp is the same whether in Celsius or Fahrenheit. -40 is damn cold in anybody's books.

Anyone know the reporting range for the EVIC?

 

my Vancouver gauge bottomed out too yesterday: at -3C!

I'd say you are correct. The gauge is saying it's F-in cold on the other side of the rockies.

 

At some point, does it really matter? Here in Tucson, anything above 105, people just say "Its DAMN HOT!" I think that when the EVIC gets to it's high and low ranges should display: DAMCLD or DAMHOT

 

Hehe, love it!

 

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know where the exterior temperature sensor is located? My wife asked me and I really wasn't sure.

 

If you're looking at the front of the Patriot, it is to the left (towards the center grille) of the fog light on the right, and down below the front bumper (the part that sticks out the furthest)... In other words, it's below the front bumper, right at the bottom bit of plastics, you'll see a little odd shaped black object cable-tied to the bottom piece of plastic.

I know it's a terrible description but it's in an awkward place.

 

The coldest I've seen on mine so far is -3 F.

Native New Englanders don't start complaining until the negatives hit the double digits. Then we take perverse pleasure in calling our friends in warm places and boasting that being -10 F isn't that bad!

Well, that is understandable. Beats going outside in that weather...

 

Bummer I did not get an outside temperature gauge on my new Jeep Patriot Sport 25E manual transmission package, just cool wheel, tire group and music. I stuck a gauge on my dash and ran the wire into the door well. Any better ideas out there? I'm in the "Gorge" near Hood River, Oregon but on the Washington side of the river in deep snow this year!

Mine has actually read -23 here in WI and 113 going threw Phoenix, Tucson was MUCH cooler, only 107 :smiley_thumbs_up:. I've looked in the Service manual and it doesn't say what the extremes are that it will read.

 

I have been looking myself and I have not been able to find the display range either.

 

jesus lol

BMWs go to -32c FYI

 

Mine read -28C last week, which is as cold as it's been here this winter. Always preferred cold winters to blistering summers. You can always put on more clothes. But when it's sizzling and you're naked, what's next?

 

OK, I'll bite....where is the temp. sensor located?
