CrosslandX Temperature Sensor Fault

Help! My 2017 Vauxhall CrosslandX (gasoline engine) is acting nuts! The outside temp sensor seems busted. I get an error code, the AC won't kick on, the washer nozzles freeze, and the mirror heaters are useless! Any ideas?

Sounds familiar! I had similar weirdness with my old Peugeot – different symptoms, but turned out to be a dodgy temp sensor connection. Might be worth checking the wiring and plugs before diving into anything major.

Cheers! When you say connection, do you mean like, the actual wires near the sensor? Or further back in the system?

Yep, right at the sensor. On my Peugeot, the plug was corroded. Give the wires a wiggle too, see if anything changes. If not, it could be the sensor itself, which sadly I had to get done at the workshop.

Thanks for the advice! I had a look at the plug like you said, but gave up and took it to a local mechanic, the connections were indeed faulty, exactly as you said! Cost me 95€ and it's all fixed!
