Outside Temperature Display on dashboard.

Post by Susan »

Hi, my outside temperature display reads correct temp when I start ignition. However when I begin to drive the display counts backward to 66 degrees. I replaced the sensor in the mirror about six months ago. Could the problem be anything else before I call a garage?

That problem is well known to Volvo shops. The connector from body to door has corrosion/connection issues. You likely will see that temp display go back to an accurate temp if you open the door.
