Temp / Climate Problem
Ok, How do I get the Climate Control system into a manual mode? The outside temp reading on my car has failed, (reads -50.0) and now the A/C won't come on because it thinks it is -50.0 outside, I have tried turning the system to LO but it still just blows outside air. Its going to the dealer next week, and I can live with out A/C but its still nice to have.

You might be SOL....
From what I understand the ECU won't let the compressor/condensor run when it is colder than ~40 deg. F ... So if the temp. sensor is broken and the ECU thinks it is -50 outside, it isn't going to let the compressor work.
