Temperature sensor location

Post by Pob »

Hi all,

Anyone know the location of the sensor for the outside temperature display? Mine is flashing at the moment, 1998 model.

Thanks,
Dan

Just to add to my last post.... Seems a strange place to put it, how do you get to it?

Thanks again,
Dan

You use the 'search' box at the top right of this page :lol:

It's a sensible place for it really, external so there's no oven effects going on, and it's in the shade
