Question

I have a 99 Buick Regal.   I replaced the battery more than a year ago.   Since then the outside thermometer always says 50. Is there any way to reset it?

Accepted Answer

You can try unplugging it and then reconnecting it.The reset proceedure simply states that you drive the car at a steady speed above 45mph for 1 and 1/2 minutes.The sensor may just be bad or related wiring.
