Go to Matthew's Volvo Site and search under "ambient temp sensor" I posted detailed instructions and pictures of how to fix this. Enjoy

Look around the front bumper near the little grille area.. That would be 16" above the ground and away from the engine so the readings would be better.
Ambient temperature
Indicates the temperature of the outside air (only accurate while driving) approx. 16 inches (40 cm) above road surface.
The warning function comes on if the ambient temperature is between 23°F to 36°F (-5°C and + 2°C) to warn you that there might be ice on the road.
The temperature and the frost symbol will be shown in the display.
The sunlight sensor (located at the top of the dashboard in the speaker frame at the passenger side) should not be covered in any way as this could cause incorrect information to be sent to the ECC(electronic climate control) system.

Sensor.
I've looked under the hood on the drivers side behind the headlight and couldn't locate the part. So I should look under the front bumper on the drivers side?
I assume this is the problem, the dealer said it was? The gage on the dash that tells what the outside temp is was reading 140F the other day when it was 40F outside. Now it just has a ----------- where the reading was?
Thanks in advance
had good ideas where this thing is thanks!!
