    faulty temp reading

    Hey gang-

    Is anyone here experiencing a faulty temperature reading on their climate control module?Since I had the car, my climate control always reads 10 degrees higher than the actual temperature. I replaced my Climate Control Unit in 2012 and its still doing the same as the old unit.

    The sensor is mounted on the core support on a bracket in front of the radiator. When it falls out of the bracket the temp goes up because the sensor lays against the trans cooler and AC condensor assembly. I found one hanging by the wire, put it back in the bracket and temp read correctly. If it is still in the bracket, then the sensor itself could be going bad.

    I would like to agree with what's been said but saying that too much has been said is all I can perceive to be said so saying that is all that can be said about what has been said.....I think??
