Default My outside tempgauge is acting up, WTF?

I find myself driving along then all of a sudden it gets super hot in my car, i look down and the temp gauge on the middle cluster reads negative 58. How can i fix this, it seems so random. some times it will go for weeks then everyday. how do i fix this problem? Thanks

Default Replace the temp sensor.

Behind bumper, attached to power steering cooler (that loopy thing).

Default 2nd. Mine would usually freak out whenever it got wet (after a rain)

The bitch is that the AC won't work when the temp reader is that cold, so you can say buh-bye to you r winshield defroster until it is replaced.
