If your exterior air temperature sensor is lying all the time, odds are it took a direct hit from a flying object, or rammed its head against a concrete curb. If you're lucky, plugging in a new sensor will set things straight. Problem is, in many cases the sensor, its electrical connector, and a good chunk of wiring are laying out on the highway. That's why we put together a kit that lets you repair the sensor and its circuit with a factory connector, plus extra wire so you can move it to a safer location, out of harm's way.
