05 379 peterbilt outside air temp sensor location?

I assume you mean the mirror temp? Some Pete's have an inside temp gauge.

I remember doing it and it was in my owner's manual in the glovebox. Other than that Alzheimer's is kicking in.

Looking on the web I found a couple different methods.

Let us know if either worked. The covering the numbers one jingles a few brain cells.

 

rapidly pushing the domitor reset works for me

Should be a little button on the face plate. Use a pen point to push it in.

 

Push the button on the odometer 4 x.

 

The outside temp sensor is in the left hand mirror as others have already said. They used to sell a replacement sensor, part # H16702AT. You have to drill the rivets out and remove the lower cover and the sensor comes with new ones, it's about $40. You can still find them at some dealers and on the internet, but it was discontinued. The new replacement is a new mirror harness with the sensor built into the harness. A little more expensive and harder to replace.

FYI, when you change (or unplug) the sensor, the temp on the dash will got to all dashes, then to a ridiculous temp when you plug it back in. This is normal, it will very slowly creep to the correct temp, but it takes about 5 min, so don't get worried.

 

My company truck is programmed to only allow the engine to idle when the outside temp is over a certain amount.

Will unplugging the sensor inside my mirror force my computer to let my engine idle at all temperatures?

 

On newer models it's a 1/2" plastic nipple pointing downward, bottom of driver's mirror.

 

Where would this be located on a ‘11 367 with the old school mirrors?

 

Grey mirror harness driver side. It’s molded into the harness. Whole mirror or sometimes you can order just the harness.

 

Thank you! I’ll look into it.
