Electrical 122 Degrees Farenhiet?
122 Degrees Farenhiet?
I think i have a temp sensor problem....
After i had my front bumper off for a bit, I threw it all back on and hopped in the car, and my temp was reading 122 degrees.
I dissconeccted the battery, and hooked it back up, then hopped in the car.
Turned car on and watched the temp sensor climb from 0 degrees all the way to 122 and stop.
Does the sensor unplug somewhere under the bumper? I looked, but I probably missed a connector and thats why its climbing like that...

But does the sender itself unplug from the wiring?
I know where it all runs, and i know i didnt pinch it, so it has to plug in somewhere.
I dont run a lower grille, so mine is in a custom mount on the aluminum bumper suport itself.

The sensor has a polug on it. It is mounted on the top middle of the bumper. I had something hit my car once and knocked it off. BTW, my temp gauge read 122 degrees the other day....but it wasn't malfunctioning! Arizona is HOTT!

I hear for '07, MINI will have an option for a fourth digit on the outside air temperature display - only for Nevada, Arizona, Texas and Florida cars
