Just noticed while driving to lunch in 84 degree weather than my outside temperature display is stuck on 69 degrees. This is about the temperature it was when I came in to work today. Anyone else ever had this thing get stuck, and did it start working again or is it most likely dead?

I'm starting to compile a list of small issues so maybe it's time to take it in anyway...

It's not that it's inaccurate (which it is, usually 3-5 degrees too high), it's that it is no longer updating at all. I drove it fast enough to get past those timer thresholds and it simply doesn't move off of 69 degrees.

Normally when I start it up in the parking lot, it reads higher than actual due to sitting on hot pavement. Since it's in the low 80s right now, there's no reason why it would still be reading 69 - even after driving it for a while.

I'll check again when I drive home and see if it unfreezes or not.

Mine does that after going thru the car wash. Works good 24 hours later.

Interesting... I did run it through the car wash this morning...

Just hold down CTL, ALT, DLT twice.

Great, now I've got the BSOD on my center console screen.

On the way home after about 2 minutes it started reading correctly again and worked fine on the way in this morning. Not sure what it was but at this point it seems to be working OK again

...which, automatic carwash or manual (DIY) carwash?

Manual, one of those kind where you use the pressure wand to wash the car.
