my temp sensor started reading about 10-15 degrees colder than it actually is outside, is there a fix or do we get a new 'sensor' or whatever it is?
ps...where is the thing anyways?

Their not much help in showing the location, unless it's by the horn.

Before you start changing parts check the connections carefully. If the display is just off a bit maybe corrosion is causing extra resistance,hence a false reading.
