To replace the external temperature sensor on a Citroën C3, use a tool to pry off the glass of the passenger side mirror. Once the glass is removed, you can unscrew the screws underneath that secure the mirror cap. This will allow you to remove the cap from its housing and locate the underlying sensor.

Once disconnected from the appropriate connector, you can connect the new sensor and cover everything with the cap.
