Subject: ambient temp sensor?
IP: Logged

Message:
I need an outside temp sensor for my Dak, 01 model. I think most are the same. It's for the overhead computer.

AutoZone says they don't carry it.

Some Daks come with one, and no O/H computer to read it. Want to sell yours?

Any suggestions?

Nobody has, or knows where to get one, other than the dealer?

I use thermosisters for my computer. Basically it's just a resister inline. If you could find out the resistance value for the factory one you could probably make your own. I don't know that for a fact but I'd guess. Also, it's pretty simply technology so MAYBE DC wouldn't charge an arm and a leg for one. Have you called a dealer to check on a factory price for the part? If I recall you stated that you already have the wiring in place...

I hope the wiring is there. Others had said the wiring for that sensor is there. The PCI bus already had all the other modes for the O/H computer. When I hooked it up, it gave me a DTE, distance till empty, etc.

NO, I haven't checked any junk yards. I'll check the dealer, then, Junk yards if needed.

Thanks
