Ian445 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Good evening. The outside temperature on display is showing 58c which must be incorrect. I have looked in handbook and does not cover this. Also tried display settings and nothing here either. The car is 2015 fiesta black addition 140 1.0 EcoBoost. Any help appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Has the battery been disconnected for any reason? Has the NS wing mirror been damaged? Has the car been parked in direct sunlight all day? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian445 Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 The battery may have been disconnected as in body shop for front damage repair due to hitting deer. Ns wing not damaged. It has been hot but overcast today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well that probably answered things haha. The temperature sensor has probably been knocked and possibly hitting the radiator. It is positioned very close to it either way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke4efc Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Also just check to make sure it's not reading 58°Fahrenheit rather than ~15°Celcius lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The battery has probably been disconnected or left to go flat while at the bodyshop though, that's the usual issue with these wild temperature readings lol.

Yes but apparently they are easily disturbed and can read all sorts unless positioned perfectly. So still worth checking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
