Hey folks. Been eyeing those amazon special tow mirrors and I read somewhere that the CEL can be activated with a faulty temp sensor. Not that I don’t trust cheap amazon stuff. But I don’t trust cheap amazon stuff.

Anyways, could that sensor affect anything else if it’s not working properly ?

I got so lucky with my 2008 ram. My mechanic had one sitting in his lot he was selling. I asked if I could swap my mirrors for that one and he tossed me a socket set and told me to fill
My boots lol. This time it ain’t so easy. Or cheap! Lol

60% of the time it works every time....

Parts of the HVAC system will cease to function or not as intended. If you have heated/cooled seats those won't turn on automatically.

I've been told that it can also affect engine performance, that's why it triggers a MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light).
