Hey, thanks for your answer! That sounds like exactly what I'm experiencing. Do you have any idea how much it cost you to replace the plug? I'd like to know upfront what I'm in for before I go to the garage. And have you had any other problems with the car since then or was that the final solution? I'd really like to avoid having to keep running to the mechanic. Hope everything continues to run smoothly for you!

Hey, sure, no problem! So, it cost me €155 to replace the plug. I know it's a bit of money, but since then the problem with the malfunctioning outside temperature sensor has been fixed for good and I've had absolutely no more problems with it. So, from my point of view, it was worth every penny. I hope this helps you a little. Good luck and I hope everything goes smoothly for you too!

Many thanks for the quick and helpful answers! 155€ sounds fair for the solution offered and to solve the fan/heating/cooling problem for good. I will actually take my GT86 to the mechanic then. It's reassuring to know that you haven't had any further problems since. I hope it will be the same for me! I'll keep you posted when the problem is fixed. Thanks again and hope to see you soon!

Hey, that looks like a nasty problem. I had something similar with my 2014 Toyota Supra and it was the cable connection to the sensor that was causing all the commotion. The blower was also doing crazy things and the heating/cooling wasn't constant. I went to the mechanic and it turned out that the connector to the sensor was worn out and needed to be replaced. It certainly wasn't an easy fix, but once the part was replaced, everything worked smoothly again. I'm no car mechanic, but it was definitely a serious problem. It may cause you a lot of trouble now, but believe me, it's definitely worth repairing or replacing the plug. Don't hesitate to get it checked. Hope this helps you a bit, and good luck with it!
