S60 2010 D5 - Outside Temperature Unit

RPA to the Stars · Jan 16th, 2022, 10:25

Hello all,

Sorry I got the wrong forum initially, so second time lucky :-)

I did a bit of help so I thought I would ask those who have all the experience.

On my S60 the outside temperature unit seems to have an intermittent fault.

It works fine but then drops down to -40 and stays there for a while before slowly coming back. I have had the unit changed which fixed it for a while then it came back so I am wondering if it is due to an issue with the door loom?

Does any one know how to get around this.

I read that there is a reset with pressing the AC button and the air recirc button together?

Any information or advice would be appreciated.

Regards

Bob

Not sure if this will help but i had same issue on my S40.

The sensor is in the passenger side door mirror but i just separated the door wiring loom connector and cleaned it out with a large shot of contact cleaner then a dose of silicone spray.
There was a fair bit of water inside the connector.
Works fine now.

Hello Thanks for the idea.

I did that and although no water I gave it a good go with the contact cleaner.

It did take a bit of working out about how to remove the plug, on the S60 you lift up the top section which anchors the connector into place.

I'll see how I get on. :-)
