Default Outside/ambient air temp sensor replacement?

The screen shows the wrong temp a lot lately. Suggestions? Replace sensor? I think it’s near the radiator. It’s under $20. Under $10 for a delco. If it’s not hard to get at it seems like a no brainer to just swap it out and see if that fixes it. Anyone know how hard it is to get at? Or a better idea? Temp is often corrected by turning it off and on again.

keep in mind the ambient temp sensor does not always show a live reading. It will have times when it displays old readings until it updates under set criteria.

Default Thanks

Hopefully that’s the problem. Then yesterday the sunroof wouldn’t open. Turned the truck on and off a few times and it started working again. 😳. So much electrical stuff.
