Recently, the outside temperature display function on my '99 Navigator has been acting up. A few days ago, it displayed 47 degrees all day, long after the temp rose higher than 47 degrees. Later in the day it finally started displaying the correct temp. It didn't start up again until Friday. Again, long after the outside temp climbed past 57 degrees, it still displayed 57 degrees.
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this problem? If I have to replace the outside sensor, where is it located? How expensive is the part?
Even though my Navi is 9 years old, it only has 67K on it. this is the first problem I've had with it since I bought it this past January.
Thanks in advance for the help. You guys always come up with the answers!

The sensor MAY be located right in the unit at the front edge of the upper console, where the display is. May Fords are like that.
You could figure that out by taking an ice cube or something and putting it on the windshield right where the display is at the top/center of the window, and see if it detects the change.
If the sensor is remote mounted (like, say, on a Chrysler minivan, where it's under the bumper up front), there won't be any change, obviously.
