Outside air temp display always reads 130 F Sensor?

Hi, my 04 SLT 1500 Hemi, the overhead display always reads 130 F, is there a sensor or something that I should replace? thanks

I had this issue too a few weeks ago but after cold resetting the truck (unplugging battery for a few minutes) it read normal. It may take a few resets to get it back though, or at least I did.

I would move to a cooler location !!!

The sensor is in front behind the grille usually near a headlight. I would try resetting the computer first, you can always replace it later.

I was about to drive to get a new sensor when I had this issue until I just reset the computer, saved me $20 and a drive to Advanced Auto Parts lol

Yes the Battery was replaced and computer has been reset. Maybe give it a little bit and see if it straightens out?

Yeah, give it a few days of driving to reset. More than likely it will fix itself.

Does the reset button on the display do anything for the temp?

Nope, only applies to Odometer and Average MPGs.

Had a similar thing a few weeks ago. Was stuck on 39 and it was 60 outside. Like a day or 2 later it was fine.
