Ever since I picked up my car from the body shop, the outside air temp seems to be very wrong. I haven't taken any exact measurements, but sometimes it feels like it's 10 + degrrees cooler outside than what the computer says it is.
Where is the sensor located? I have a suspicion that the bodyshop did something to move it, or If I know where it should be, I will make sure that it is installed properly and that it is getting the correct airflow over it.
Thank you all.

Right front fender liner extension. Many times in minor fender benders it is knocked out of place, damaged, or the wires and socket have been hurt. All are easy and inexpensive fixes.

That's the opposite side of the car that was affected.... Hmmmmmm
I'll take a look tonight and make sure everything at least looks like it's in place and not damaged.
Thanks !!!

Inexpensive my A$$! I got a quote for close to $400 to fix that on my car because I hit a box on the freeway and apparenty ripped the sensor and wires right out of the socket. When I called they told me exactly what the problem was, and that it was a common problem. I can't figure why that sensor is located in such a stupid place.
