    I have a 2012 PiP. After washing her yesterday, the climate control indicated an outdoor temperature of 64. It was much hotter. Some water must have been in the sensor. Where's it located?

    Thanks!!

    Actually I was working around it when I put the mesh behind the grills. It's at the lower centre of the front of the car, about 3" in front of the A/C rad. You can see the cable running down there from the top. Well, you can if you remove the top piece of plastic. ;)
