Temperature sensor
Can anyone show me a picture of what the outside temperature sensor looks like. It’s for Banana.

Its pre-empting the new ice age caused by global warming.

The sensor has landed.
Received a new sensor from Trikey this morning. Many thanks for his help.
That’s what the club is all about, helping one and other out. Makes me proud to be a member. Just need Mr. Darke to fit it for me.

Question
Does the outside temperature sensor have a fuse? If so where please.

No fuse, it's a thermistor, resistance changes with temperature. Make sure the contacts are clean, also the contacts in the loom connector when the bumper comes off. My diesel one was corroded in the arch loom where the bumper wiring connects.
Corrosion will alter the resistance to a much higher figure hence the - 30 reading.

Checked the live feed with a multi meter and no power showing. Was going to try a battery reset

This sensor is wired directly to the instrument pack. Did you manage to place your meter across the black/slate and orange wires with the sensor still connected? If it was disconnected then your reading may be unreliable depending upon the circuit design inside the IPK. We know that the minus 30 reading results from an open circuit. There's just one connector involved. It's a six pin grey square plug/socket and you'll find it in the front corner of the engine compartment on the LH side near the fog lamp (the other pins carry the lamp's harness). Check that the orange and black/slate connections are making good contact. I can send you a photograph if you need it. Simon
