Multi Outside Temperature Sensor Fault

My 2000 Nissan Multi with a gasoline engine has a faulty outside temperature sensor. The error memory stores a fault, the AC won't engage, the spray nozzles freeze, and the mirror heating is non-functional at 137823 km. Could this be a simple sensor failure?

The 2000 Nissan Multi is experiencing issues with a faulty outside temperature sensor, leading to the AC not engaging, frozen spray nozzles, and non-functional mirror heating. A potential cause could be a simple sensor failure or issues with the cable and plug connections. A similar case was resolved by inspecting and cleaning a corroded pin in the connector, suggesting that a thorough inspection and maintenance of the connections might solve the problem.

I had similar issues with my Multi. Have you checked the cable and plug connections to the sensor itself? That was the culprit for me. Air con, mirror heating...the lot.

Thanks! Was your Multi exhibiting the same symptoms – frozen spray nozzles and all? When you say 'checked,' did you just visually inspect them, or did you perform any electrical testing?

Yep, frozen nozzles too. A complete pain. I only did a visual check initially and everything looked fine. Took it to a workshop in the end, they found a corroded pin in the connector. They cleaned it and applied some dielectric grease.

Understood. I will schedule an appointment with a trusted workshop for a thorough inspection of the cable and plug connections. If the repair cost of 95€ is correct, this seems like a reasonable solution. I appreciate your guidance!
