Wells SU2181 Ambient Air Temperature Sensor

My truck is an '03 F150 4x4 with over 331,300 miles on it and yes I've logged every inch of those except the first 25K. I'm no stranger to repairs of occasionally major things, but more often smaller things like sensors. After noticing my overhead (solid roof) console was reading -40 I started the rounds of internet research with my symptoms to sort out the problem. The compass, by the way, read correctly and was seemingly unaffected.All research pointed to a new air temp sensor which was my first gut-guess to start out with. Getting to it involved removing the cowling skirt that covers the hood latch section back to nearly over the cooling fan. The little plastic expanding screws are tricky but not difficult for most DIYers.Once the plastic cowling was off (and that was a good chance to scrub up that radiator, condenser area for the first time in 13 years) replacing the sensor literally took seconds.When I first turned the key I was disappointed to see the temp at -40 again but had the thought of disconnecting the battery, which should have been done, to begin with. I disconnected the battery and did something else for a few minutes then came back, started the truck to see a more accurate 55 degrees.Overall it's an easy fix, less than half hour, though I took a whole hour just to scrub up that cowling and all. No special tools are really needed, Phillips screwdriver, I discovered it's better to use a slow, unpowered screwdriver to remove those plastic screws, and maybe a small screwdriver to help you with the very accessible plastic clip.Again, easy fix, shipping was timely and well packaged.

Easy to install...however it didn't fix my original problem. Temp still displays dashed on my Ford F150 2007 model. Problem must be elsewhere

Fixed my outside temperature reading on my Lincoln Navigator. Finally I am able to dress properly....

gives accurate temp compared with other products.

Works perfectly and was delivered quickly, at a reasonable price.

Fit 100% perfectly and fixed the issue.
