    Default ac condenser replacement, temp sensor problem

    Hi -
    I just finished replacing my condenser. It wasn't difficult, just needed to remove the bumper and front grill, loosen the radiator and it slips right out.
    After I reconnected the temp sensor on the bumper my computer readout is stuck on +20F. Any suggestions are appreciated.
    Thanks

    Default Give it a day or so , sometimes the temp sensor takes some time to

    respond, and or check up behind the bumper where the wire for the sensor meets up with the foglight wires, sometimes you'll find a problem there.

    if it doesnt clear up after that you might need to clean up the connections and use some sontact cleaner.

    it's strange how some cars come right up when you plug in a sensor and others take a while to get up to speed
