Technical Outside temperature sensor replacement

[theGman]

Hi everyone. The outside temperature sensor has died. Dashboard reads ----˚C. I've done a search and came across a few posts that refer to video to replace the sensor without removing the mirror but all the links are now expired. Does anybody have a good link. Thanks.

An update on my outside temperature sensor replacement. I bought a sensor from online auction site less then £10. I didn't fit new sensor in the mirror. I cut the wires in the door and connected sensor there. Sensor temperature was same inside door as it was outside. Less than 1 hour from start to finish. New sensor red wire + , green wire - . Secured new sensor inside door using ty-wraps.

If you had intimate contact with the door skin i would say that's a damned good idea. No issues with an intimate white van (or stone wall) kissing your mirror too energeticaly.
