temperature display unit

[calibra_16v]

does the temperature display unit display the temperature from inside the car or out side? the reason i ask is, mine is constanly reading 70 or higher, is this normal or is the temperature sensor broke? also is the temperature sensor located behind the roof lining near the sunroof?

its the outside temp ...no doubt a faulty sensor

talking of temperature display, does it cost much to replace it if it dont work? i belive its a common problem & it just reads " -- " my 1st calibra's one didnt work but my 2nd one's one worked, dont know yet if my new calibra im picking up today temperature display works

god don't take the roof lining off, the outside temp sensor is clipped onto the front bumper at the passenger side

[calibra_16v]

ah right whats that thing clipped next to the sunroof? (behind the roof lining)

[Allys Cally]

i'm guessing your talking about the blanking plug to manually operate the sunroof

[calibra_16v]

ive got another sunroof in the garage, ill go take a pic of the thing im talking about

[calibra_16v]

i think it may be the blanking plug heres the pics of it

ok soon as i finish work tomorrow ill have the bumper off and have a look

[Fraz]

no need to take bumper off, its right behind the plastic deflector on the front N/S

[calibra_16v]

this might sound abit stupid but whats the plastic deflector? (my brains been in sleep mode the last few days )

[Fraz]

look at the bottom of the front bumper, there is a black plastic eyebrow looking bit...its right behind that

[calibra_16v]

ok ill go out and have a look in a sec

[calibra_16v]

is this it? (the thing in the middle) or is that the airbag sensor?

[Fraz]

I have no idea where that is on the car
