Outside temperature stuck on 47*

Guys, any reason, or fix, to make my outside temperature stop reading 47*?

its 69* out but the reading in my display is stuck. Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated. I realize this isn't a huge concern but it annoys the life out of me

I've never had that problem on my car or previous cars. But sounds like the sensor is bad. They're only bout $25 I think...I'd just replace it.

There's also this if you haven't already tried it to reset it. Forgot to ask that above.

It's probably not 47C outside. That would even be considered a "really hot day" Las Vegas - in July.

Its definitely in Farenheit. It must be the sensor. It is real slow and sluggish to change. It will start to change but is uber slow.

Where is the sensor located?
