Jeep Renegade/ Fiat 500 Ambient Temp Fix for Under $10

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ค. 2024
- In this video I show you set by step how to fix a broken ambient temperature sensor in a Jeep Renegade in under 30 minutes for less than $10. This fix likely also works for several other Jeep and Fiat vehicles. In the Renegade when the ambient temp sensor is not working it throws a check engine code that will cause you to fail inspection as well as disables the climate control, remote start, and 4WD. The dealer will charge over $500 to fix this but you can easily do it for less than $10 with parts available online.
Update- Everyone kept asking so the link to order the part is below! Please use this link when you order as I will get a small percentage (your cost doesn't change) which will allow me to make more of these how-to videos. Thank you for your kind words and support!

Hello from Lancashire in northern England. My wife had exactly the same problem. Jeep dealership wanted £180 +labour to fit a new wing mirror. As a result of your video, I purchased a pack of thermistors(only 5% and not 10% as you showed). hardest part was releasing clips but I followed your video to the letter. The engine light still stayed on but today it cleared itself (four days later)and everything is back to normal. Thank you for making this video from my wife and myself.
A year later and your video is still helping people, saving them money. Especially now when prices are ridiculous. So thank you for making this video.
Thank you so much. I just got back from my dealer .. have your problem. They gave me an estimate of $1000.., I told them no.. came home and found your video. I just ordered the thermistor from Amazon. I bought 4 cars from this dealer. No more. Coincidentally. Our 2015 Renegade Trailhawk is your color with the black hood too. 😊 It’s been a good vehicle. But it’s getting replaced by Bronco Raptor that’s being built as we speak. Thanks again.
NTC Thermistor 10k Ohm 10% Radial Lead 2.5mm Lead -- for anybody wondering
Many thanks from Scotland. Took me an hour and lots of swearing but fixed in the end. Getting the cover off was a bitch....I couldn't source the recommended thermistor in the UK , so used a MF52-103 with 5% tolerance. has worked perfectly since installing three weeks ago and travelling over a 1000 miles. Top man!!!
awesome. thanks for the video. my ambient air temp sensor is on & off lately so i see this cheap fix in my future. keep posting your renegade fixes! popular vehicle, helpful for lots of people.
Super helpful.
I will be trying this this week.
Thanks for the video
Thanks so much for this informative video! It’s literally just saved me an absolute fortune and fixed numerous issues I was having! Can’t thank you enough mate! I now have Air Con!!! 😊😊😊😊
What other issues did you have that were resolved with this fix? I’m trying to diagnose a few issues myself and this is the first one I’m looking to tackle
Great video, Jeep wanted £380 for this issue at the local dealer. Bought the replacement sensor of eBay for £9.99 and took 15 minutes to do the job. Thankyou for your help. Saved me a fortune 👍
Couldn't have done it without your video. Thank you SO much for posting!
Hi from Norfolk in the UK. I had exactly the same problem but no fault code or engine light. I bought a replacement sensor off ebay for £10 and fitted it today. All working again. 😊 Thanks for the video.
Perfect. Thank you for documenting this! I'll be ordering the thermistor & helping someone repair this problem in the next few days.
Buddy, you are a lifesaver! It would cost me $600+ to fix it and I did it with less than $45. You rock, thanks!
I just followed your instructions and it worked perfectly. You da man! On a side note, I did mine in daylight and think you may have been on to something doing it at night. My 72 yr old eyes were having a buggar of a time seeing inside the mirror with my little head beam because of too much ambient light.. The hardest part was getting the top mirror cap off. If I had to do it again I’d do it at night too. You had it all right. 😀
Me too Im 72 later this year.
Super advice and easy and cheap fix, thank you!
Perfect fix man. exactly as you demonstrated saved me $ 500 and an inspection.
Thanks so much for this video! I have the exact same problem with my 2015 Renegade & was dreading taking it to the dealer to be fixed. I just ordered the thermistors.
Another big thank-you for this - it was easy and cheap and fixed the ambient temp sensor! The biggest hassle is figuring out how to open the mirror trim, but it's not terrible!
Thank you for this video! It’s working so far so good. It only took me about an hour to do with all the proper tools! Currently my car temperature is 53°F in my phone says it’s 54°F
Again thank you so much for the video it was very helpful I will keep you posted on any new updates
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Dealership and 3 others couldn’t find the issue, this video saved me $525!!!! Works perfectly, thank you man
Dude, you just saved me $400. Worked like a charm. Thanks so much.
Thank you! This worked like a charm for me. I did precisely what you showed, using a thermistor I got in a day from Amazon and everything is back in order.
This fix still works on a 2016 Renegade as of 10/2022
Watched your video last night and today I changed my ambient sensor on my jeep and your video was so helpful. I ordered the part on ebay for $33 and it saved me money to fix it myself.
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this! My jeep renegade had the same problem, the Aircon wouldn't work and strangely the passenger window wouldn't go down with the controls on the drivers side! Using your video, we have just done this and it's working all again!
From Derby, UK!
Thank you so much, in my mind that was a perfect TH-cam video.
This worked like a charm! Thank you Relic Adventures. You saved me over $400.
Glad to hear it
This video helped me so much. Ordered the part. Put it in and have air again. Thank you
Worked like a charm thanks so much.
Thanks mate just did exactly what you said and air con is working !!!
Thank you. Video was very helpful
Thank you thank you. You are a hero . God bless you and family.
Thank you a million times over!!!!🇨🇦
Absolutely awesome! This was a an easy fix, what a money saver! If you can solder, you can do this! Took me less than an hour and works perfectly! Thank you SO much!
You are welcome!
This Video Was very helpful man keep doing these type of videos differently helping us Young Adults! 🙌 an if it’s post you could update an get a camera 📷 holder next time so we can see how you did it 👑
Wow!
This video is fantastic!!!
I watched the video and placed order on Amazon.
Today, I got similar pack of these Thermistors delivered and fixed this issue with my 2016 Jeep Renegade.
The Air-conditioner, Terrain Selector/4 Wheel Drive, Remote Start, Air Temperature display, etc.. just won't work.
I have been looking for a solution since 2018...
So grateful for this video, Relic Adventures 🙏 👍 👍
Thanks so much for this video, from Cape Town South Africa! You saved us R7000 ($500) 🏆✨
Thank you for posting this video! I’ve been having a similar problem with my 2015 jeep renegade Trailhawk. Instead of a high ambient temperature, mine reads approximately 50° lower once it hits over 90°F.
I used your video step-by-step and now all I have to do is wait until it’s over 90° to see how my new thermistor reacts.
Again, thank you please post more if you have any more issues with your Jeep renegade! Much appreciated
Superb, in the UK this is going to save me about £130+ VAT. 10/10.
Just did this today- I broke off one of the clips by accident but it still worked and I was able to put it back together, no problem. Check engine light went off after I disconnected the negative side for a few mins. Thanks so much!
Excellent video.
You were spot on. I did happen to find the same Thermistors on amazon for just under $7.00. In ten mins I disassembled the mirror, wired the new and hot glued it back in the org place. Thank you for your video!
Do you have the link to them?
had this problem. the solution worked for me thanks
Thanks so much. Great video.
Thanks from the UK, could not have attempted this without your video. I had neither solder or wire crimps available, but this has worked by twisting the wires together and protecting the join with insulating tape. Brilliant.
What did you use to get the cover off, I am having a hard time finding proper tools to get in there and properly remove it.
@@adamfroggett5233 watched the video many times, had a small Bright torch to see the internal plastic clip type bits and pushed the 2 I could see gently with a big blunt screwdriver head
Awesome - Followed you step by step and now I have my remote start and 4x4 back. Had to wait for the weather to warm up a bit, I figured -27c (-14f) was a little too low and the plastic would be too brittle. It was only -12c (10F) so took the risk. At these temperatures I so missed the remote start.
Glad it worked for you. Yes you definitely need remote start!
Thanks it’s worked for me
Great fix - although quirky it is a very important feature that the coolant, oil and ambient air all correlate. This was the case with an Alfa (same DNA)I picked up from Spain which had a faulty thermostat.
The problem with fully loaded good value vehicles is that components like this will be the cheapest available....and many are from China as we found out when supplies dried up with the covid shut downs.
- one thought- I wonder if conductive thermal paste would be more responsive than hot glue? Maybe hot glue insulating it is better as it takes out peaks
Anyway it’s always good to see practical repairs
Really good video thank you 🙏
Awesome video, wife’s 2015 Renegade Trailhawk just had the compressor, condenser and metering device replaced at the dealership. I am not ready ambient air temp, ac is not working, check engine light is on and remote start doesn’t work, I will either be buying a thermistor at local auto parts store or Amazon. Great video
much appreciated 👍
Thank you for the video only thing was I bought a temperature sensor off of temu for $7.00 for maybe someone else who just wants to just connect the wires and go it worked and everything is running great again.
Great video
Have a fiat that had this same me problem and they wanted too much to fix it and that was over 2 years ago. Fast forward to yesterday when I failed inspection bc of the check engine light. I ordered the part and installed it. And I added extra lead since mine was like 2 inches maybe. I just need the check engine light reset and I’m golden. Yes I know I can disconnect the terminal but I want the guys at the garage to check b4 I head back for reinspection
Pretty cool job. Good to know in case I need it.
Thanks!
Thanks so much for this video! You just saved me about £500; found a replacement thermister compete with the little black plastic housing on etsy for £10 - straight swap. Only issue is engine light didn't clear after disconnecting the battery for 10 mins, so leaving it disconnected for longer to see if that does the trick.
Did leaving it longer clear it? I cured the ambient temp reading but engine light still on.
Well that helped out alot cuz I thought my 4wd stopped working! My sensor went out as well I have a 2016 renegade
Glad it helped
Timing is everything. This is an issue on my 2015 as well. However mine was reading about 20 degrees lower until winter hit. Then it began to read correctly until 3-4 days ago when the weather warmed up a bit. Now it reads dashes and the CEL is on again. I have a Chrysler warranty but $10 thermistor vs $100 deductible. I just have to wait another week ort two since Amazon doesn't have in stock at the moment. Thanks for the video!! I had read this fix once or twice, but it helps to see it done. And I wholeheartedly agree. Quirky vehicle. I love the Jeep, but it is quirky. We passed our last car down to our daughter. I would never feel comfortable giving her this.

My trailhawk was going nuts and went to a local dealership . Almost $400 for the part . Nope ! Going to $5 fix with the parts from a local hobby shop . Thank you 😊
Thanks! I just baoght the entire sensor with the black housing. Cost like 2 dollars.
In my experience, even if you can not select 4 wd mode, I think the all wheel drive still works
The reason the engine warning light turns out is it "thinks" the temperature sensor of the engine thermostat is faulty. It meassures the difference in temperature between the ambient temp and the thermostat and reports a fault code for the thermostat temp sensor. This is a logic error in their programming for the fault codes. A lot of those in modern vehicles. I broke the mirror glass when I changed the thermistor. Still better than the $500 complete mirror.
has anyone used this method for a jeep renegade 2015 limited by any chance?
Thanks for this video!!! very helpful
My wife's 2015 Trailhawk has been intermittent --- or accurate temp for about a month now. I have been resetting the 0073 code with my reader and it lasts a day or so and then gives the check engine light again. I am in VT and we had a 10 inch snowfall and the car would not go into 4wd. We run studded snows so it was not a huge deal but was an annoyance. What if you were out on a trail or in deep snow and the sensor decided to quit? Thanks for this video. I bought an intake air sensor already and will let you know if that is the same thermistor rating as the ones you bought. Enjoy the baby.
Worked great
A little challenging to get mirror apart
Patience pay
Good joop sir did all jeep renegad have the same position temperature sensor?
Great video…my A/C on a 2016 Fiat 500 X not working and temp display on dashboard reads 0 degrees. Was able to order a single of the recommended thermistor through eBay for $6.50 including postage. Mechanics estimate to replace with OEM mirror assay $650….even if I pay his hourly to do the work, this will be a huge savings…TY
Did this fix your issue with your ac?
Thank you thank you thank you.....
Glad it heklped
I also have a renagade trail hawk and a Tacoma
My engine light just came on and they quoted me the same amount and they would have my car up to two weeks and no rental car. So I decided to do my own research, thank you so much!!! I'm just about to order on Amazon, Is there a way to fix without sodering? Should I just use electrical tape for now till I can get someone who can soder do it for me? Lol
ready to do this on my 2016 limited.. should i disconnect battery before cutting the wires and then joining them to new thermistor? Or does that not matter given car is turned off?
Where do those wires go though? Where do they attach in the mirror base?? Hope u see this soon!
I can't pass an emissions test cause my mirror flew off in an accident that hasnt been claimed yet.
Engine fault is maybe due to the bad mix of air/gas : the volume of air for the mix is temperature dependant.
I don't have yet the problem, but thanks for the procedure
What tools did you use to get the cover off the mirror, I am having a hard time finding anything to get in there without causing any damage
Will this work the same on a 2015 Renegade Latitude? 2.4L... the bottom of my mirror is different.. it doesn't have the black ball that comes out.. but hoping the inside of the mirror is the same as yours lol. We will see.
Would this work for a 2014 jeep Cherokee?
Is there anyway to do it if I don’t have a sadder?
I can only find 02-N103-1 thermistors. Will they work for this application?
What was the engine code reading, thanks??
ótimo vídeo
.obrigado moro no Brasil.. fiz e deu certo . não gastei 10 reais. comprei por 2 reais o termostato coloquei ontem e normalizou. tô acompanhado. até o momento tudo ótimo
Ainda está funcionando?
Onde você comprou o termostato?
Estou tendo dificuldades para achar o modelo certo.
Tô com problema no sensor de temperatura já há algum tempo. A temperatura no painel consta como negativa quando está fazendo 30° na verdade. E por conta disso o ar condicionado não funciona.
Se você puder me ajudar, vou ficar bastante agradecido.

I’m off today if you need a ride!😁
You are a little off every day
@@relicadventures1554 remeber the “friend” thing,,,???
please help me identify the labeling on the Thermistor part card. I cannot clearly see the brand at bottom of card in black bold letters. thank you
The part is linked in the description
Great video! I am having trouble with mine as well. How did you discover exactly which thermistor was in this sensor and which one to purchase?
I wish you lived in Houston, TX so you could help me with my Ambient Light issue. Same exact issue. I just cannot seem to get the mirror off.
I used to!
Did you change your license plate light to led? You have to put 18 Ohm resistor in parallel with the leds to remove the code.
I have not but I think I realized there are two LP lights and one was out
Can anyone please tell me where I can buy a thermistor like the one in the video. I think the guy in the video suggested Amazon. Please advise. Thx
The part is linked in the description
So did the resin just pop out? Or how did you get the resin out?
I used a pocket knife to pop it out.
Can it be any 10k thermistor?
I really don’t know. I would stick with the model stated to be safe.
He said he gets 27 mpg.I have an '18 renegade with the 2.7 engine and only average 21 mpg.. Help!
I got bigger tires after I made this video and mine went down to 23.
Would you be willing to sell me two of these for $10? I can't find them
Wish I knew what I did with the extras.Hopefully you can find some.
Guess I'm the only one who can't get the damn clips off. I lift them up but they just lay back down onto the latch. I can't jimmy them in a way that they pop off.
I finally got this job done. Turns out I hadn't cursed at it enough times yet. I did this fix on a Fiat 500x using this video. The 500x and the Renegade share the same frame and several elements. The clips were a bit different and somewhat difficult to do though. Ended up taking two people. 1 person to lift both clips at the same time while the other gentley separates the case from the mirrior motor housing. I got those off just to learn that there are clips on the back. One refused to come out without almost breaking it. Turns out you have to spin and turn the case a certain way and walk it off in a certain motion. It feels stuck and unmoving otherwise.
Definitely some differences but you can fix a 500x using this video. Thanks!
A real genius
Thank you so much my engine light came out traveling from New York to Florida and the check engine came on. I thought of a few things and I looked online for this jeep. Thank you.👍👌🫵🏻🫵🏻🫶
