You are watching: Dodge ram ambient temperature sensor location

so what is the scenario for your reading the temp? is the auto being driven or sit still in the sun? or what?

All of the above over the previous week. Once I picked it increase today, it had been sitting outside in the sun. It review 45 through an outdoor temp of 33. Ns drove it around for 10 minutes and it dropped come 40 and also didn"t drop any type of further for the next 10 minutes.

My ambient temp sensor will read high too, especially if the is in the sun. This day it to be 75 degrees and also sunny, went to my truck leaving work-related at 4 PM and it said it was 100 levels outside. I have a 17 mile drive home, around 12 of that is ~ above the interstate. Even by the moment I had actually been travel at 70 mph for practically 12 miles the exterior temp just dropped come 83. Steering though some shaded areas on the second roads to my house it did drop to 79, however the the end temp sensor I have actually at the house was analysis 73 - for this reason it absolutely seems to review high.
