How to solve the problem of the external temperature sensor of the Fiat 500

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2024
Part: Checks and maintenance

If the outside temperature is no longer correctly displayed on our Fiat 500, the problem concerns the sensor that has malfunctioned. This faulty sensor could also cause problems with the air/fuel mixture, causing us to consume more fuel. In most Fiat cars, the outside temperature sensor is located inside the driver's side external rearview mirror, so all you have to do is remove the glass/mirror, behind which the sensor is located, remove it by cutting the wires and replace it. We can find it at a good price on AliExpress for 12.74 euros + 0.84 euros for delivery. Then just add the electrical wires and put the glass mirror back in place to complete the job.
