Default HELP Electric Problems

I have 01 2.8. Recently my external temperature gauge has been going from 90 down to like negative 50 and then fluctuating also at the same time my a/c goes out. Also on my radio whe i twist the ***** to change bass mid treb bal fade, the bars dont come up, it alters the sound but i cant see where it is set. Any ideas, i talked to dealership about teh ac temp gauge prob and they wanted 1200 to fix it, ne help would be appreciated.

Default When the outside temp drops below a set temperature the AC shuts down to avoid freezing. The bad

outside temp sensor is likely shutting off the AC as intended. Fix the outside sensor .. not too expensive a part and plug and play . .and the AC should work fine.
The radio .... you're on yer own
