My outside temp gauge is not working properly...

[KMeloney]

Hey all,

So, I believe it was probably 28° or so overnight at some point, but when I ran some errands at lunch time today, my outside temp gauge (on the DIC) still read 28°, despite it actually being @ 43° out. I cycled the truck on and off probably 3 times during the errands run, and the temp never changed.

Is it just really "laggy?" Is something afoul? Is there a way to "recalibrate" the thing? It's just not reflecting the current temp with any regularity, that's for sure.

Ideas? Thanks.

I never really believe that the temp that indicates on these trucks are accurate. Especially not if it stays at one temp.
Don't know if u can recalibrate it manually.

Push the snowflake button and the one in the same place above the screen (I think it's the recirculate button?)

Hit ctrl + F5. Works for me every time.....

Doing that will make a difference to the temp readout on the DIC?
