Ford outside thermometer is wrong

[delcecchi]

also if you go to the site "wunderground" (weather underground), they often have the readings for people with weather stations in their yards. There are at least half a dozen in Rochester, for example. So that would give you an idea of how close you are.

But I find the car is usually within a few degrees once I have been driving for 10 or 15 minutes.

The Fords are known for the thermometer going. Mine has been off for a couple years (sometimes reads 100+ during winter) My brothers quit about a week after mine. Both F-150's ... So I don't think your Thermometer is just "off" I am guessing it is the sensor as stated previously.

Pick the parking lot Deitz! I think we should all get together and drive aroudn in circles trying to calibrate our thermometers and compassses. Perhaps just pick a lake and drive around until we wear a hole in the ice! IT's time for spring!

Just turn left- be like a NASCAR race

My truck compass only works right when I am up north.. Any ideas??

Demagentize the vehicle??? So do you have to go up to the nuke in Monticello and drive around the building to do that or what? I've made a magnet by hitting a nail held at a 45 degree angle on cement with the nail going north and south, so should I whack the bumper a few times with a sledge to see if that works?
