QUESTION: thanks for the reply
i did already replace the ambient temp sensor the way you described above, it is still showing open circuit on the overhead console any other suggestions as to what might be causing this
thankyou
Answerthe info that u see on the over head is info that is bussed over a network from the body computer. With out an expensive scanner or a Chrysler scanner i cant tell u if the computer is seeing the sensor input or not. U are pretty much out of luck until u can get that stuff check out by a pro.
