Hello all. Just joined the club two weeks ago with a beautiful black/parch, no-nav. (note to self: must remember it's the wife's car) Anyway, her compartment hasn't pooped open yet (sorry), but the outside temp gauge is stuck reading 64. Obviously a trip to the dealer is in order, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

 

i have never read anyone else having the same problem. mine is working fine so far. take it to dealer and have them fix it.

 

Outside Tem Gauge can be set using RESET & SELECT button while on the ignition.

 

I have not seen that posted before Sam. I have been on this board & the was other TL board for along time. I was on the old board for the TL back when they redesigned the TL for the 99 model.
I have never seen a post of a stuck one but a few with the reading slightly off.

 

i have never heard anyone has this problem either.go to check your owner's manual and there is a instruction of how to reset the tem gauge.good luck

 

I've had the same exact thing happen to my 02 TLS. It was a pretty warm day, mid 80's and my temp guage was stuck on 69 degrees F. Next day it worked like a charm. Very strange!

Looks like I'm with TundraMan. It's working fine now for no apparent reason. Thanks for the replies.

 

I don't think you can reset the thermo gauge. The reset button is for the trip odo.

In the summer, my gauge was stuck at 84 for a while. After reading the manual I think it said that the gauge does not change every second, it only changes after driving for a while, or something along those lines, based on the readings it gets from the 2 sensors (1 in the dash the other in the front of the car).
