what does it mean when the thermometer reads "--"
the coldest i have seen the outside therm read is "-22"
does it not show any colder readings than that?

oh yeah, i'll post the jaos pics tomorrow

From my memory-That means its not picking up the temp. If it continues you have a bad sensor. The sensor is located in front of the a/c condensor, make sure it is hooked up tight.

the dealership is researching it but it seems like the temper wont display any temperatures colder than 22 below zero.
it is 35 below zero today, so it just displays the -- message

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw these posts, so I checked www.weather.com, and it said current temp was 35 below. Coldest I've been in is 13 below, and I nearly died. I don't know how or why you do what you do where you live....

I live in fairbanks, alaska.

last night it reached 46 below. The weather up here is so dry, that 46 below sounds much worse than it feels. At 20 above, we dont wear jackets. At 40 above we wear t-shirts and shorts.

The dealer told me that the themometer doesnt read colder than 22 below, hence the -- reading.
