Default Problem air temp overhead

Dear, I have problems with the overhead temperature sensor, the clock will hit the marker at 35°C, that is?

Thanks.

I mean I have problems with the temperature sensor of the overhead, the temperature is not the real mark on the environment.

Okay, how much difference is there between the actual outside temperature and the reading on the overhead console?

The temperature that marks the console between 81ºF to 98ºF, the outside temperature is 58 º F.

Thanks.

The sensor unit probably needs to be replaced. It is located in front of the radiator, behind the grill.

I got another temperature sensor, but continued with the offset of temperature, but the next day marked the actual temperature sensor of the environment, but then failed again. I think the fault is not the sensor, should be another element.

If the other sensor is actually good, and the wire running between it an the overhead console. It may be the overhead console going bad.
