thermometer messed up from fog light delete attempt

[cmy_bimmer]

Alright, I tried to do the fog light delete cuz I was reading up on it. So I was working on it, until I was half way through the job and said "screw it" and put them back on. So I started driving and I look at the temp reading and it said -35¤F. I didn't think the fog lights had anything to even do with the thermometer. Can anyone tell me wut 2 do?

TIA!!!

the thermometer wire thingy probably broke loose while you were down there since it's in the same area. it's quite common, considering the sheer amount of abuse they take. that and the thermometer also falls off the brake duct quite easily. first, look at the driver side brake duct behind the front bumper. there should be a yellow plug sensor thing that pokes into the brake duct. if all you see is a hole there and a frayed wire, you'll need to get a new thermometer. they're pretty cheap, ranging from free to $10 used. if it's still there and the wire just came off, you can try to repair it. just make SURE to solder it on, otherwise, its sensitivity will make your thermometer be tens of degrees off. anyway, good luck.
