help with display problem

Post by bumbu_andrei »

Hello,

I'm new around here...can anyone tell me why on the LCD of my Corsa B the temperature section displays just something like this : --.-- . It used to show the correct outside temperature. I had this problem some time ago but it fixed suddenly without any intervention...Now the problem reappeared.Does anyone know where is the temperature sensor? Sorry for my English...I'm from Romania. Wait for replys!!!!

Cleaning the sensor won't cure it. Impossible. It will be the sensor thats had it and just needs a new one. You can get them off ebay for next to nowt.

Simply just unclip the old one and clip on the new one. Simples.
Located behind the front bumper on a plastic mount in front of the radiator.

sorry to bring up an old topic (the curse of the search function) but i'm trying to find the outside temperature sender.

I've looked as best i can between the radiator and bumper but without taking it off i cant tell where the sender is?

Can some-one post a picture of the front of the car with an arrow showing where it should be :)

How easy is it to get too and do i need to take the whole bumper off?
