Has anyone else had this issue...
Most of the time while I'm stopped for a minute or more, on my Nav screen the external air temperature starts to climb. It does this on a daily basis, but not every time that I am stopped. It did this today when actual outside air temp was 10 degrees, displayed climbed to 80 degrees and the AC kicked on. But when I start to drive again, it goes back down and the heat comes back on.
I am thinking that it may be a result of the location of the sensor and some how it is being affected by the heat coming off the engine.
What I want to know is where is the sensor located? And could I be right about my guess. BTW I have a 2011 Screw with 300 miles on it.
The truck is still under warranty so I will take it back to my dealer to have them check out what's going on. I am hoping to have my question answered as I won't get to the dealer for a few days.
Thanks for you input.
