vppn Report post Posted September 2, 2009 Just got my '08 Fusion SEL V6. Everything works awesome except for the Extternal Tempurature Display. When it is 98* it will read like 109*. I took it to Ford and they replaced the sensor today. The temp reads a little closer but seems it is still reading 4+ degrees hotter. Are others having a similar problem? I know you need to be driving for a while to get an accurate reading but this seems way off. Thanx.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2010SEL Report post Posted September 3, 2009 I find that when I'm in urban areas, or areas where traffic is heavy, that the tempurature will read higher than what the weatherman says it is. I think this is because the car's sensor is picking up heat off the road, as well as heat from other vehicles. Once I get out into more open, less congested areas the tempurature readout agrees pretty well with the real tempurature. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
