Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
Buy a multimeter and check continuety back to the plug in the frunk and byond if needed.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, first time posting here. Wife and I picked up a 2003 C4S in April which has been fantastic. The car is well sorted, but one thing that annoys me is the ambient temp sensor does not work, it just shows ---F. There are no errors displayed, it just does not show the temperature. The sensor is there by the radiator on the passenger side, and I even tried replacing it with a new one from Pelican Parts, but that did not change anything. I also tried turning on the car with no sensor attached to see if it would throw a code, and nothing changed. I scanned using a basic cheap ODB2 scanner but there are no codes present it could find.Any ideas what I can try? Thank you!

Buy a multimeter and check continuety back to the plug in the frunk and byond if needed. The schematics r all over the web but if u want a hard copy buy a Bemtley manual
