Outside air temp sensor is fitted to the underside of the driver's door mirror.

The connector is in the base of the mirror behind a panel (though these usually break when removed! ). Does the rest of the electrics for the mirror work ok, ie does the motor operate up & down, left & right? If not it's possible the lot is disconnected.

I had one case where water travelled down the wiring and badly corroded the terminals, which meant a whole new mirror assembly (warranty! )- which a dealer wouldn't normally stock, meaning probably two trips.

yup ^


check the connections/wires.

they might have not reconnected them

cheers chaps it so happens they took the drivers door mirror off to respray it.the mirror adjust fine,but thats what it is bang on the money lads.taking it back to them friday the bonnet is all swirl marks covered in them its a new bonnet as well.they supergaurded all the new panels and that polish is the worst to get off your car i have ever come across it crystallises goes very hard.NOT RECOMMENDED
