The temp reading inside my car is never accurate. On the ride home today it was showing it was 95 outside, I think it's maybe 70. I've seen it display "HI" a few times when it thinks it's about 140*. Now, I know it's not going to be that accurate, but I expect it to be within 5 degrees, not 25. Where is this temp sensor located?
Thanks!

Front driverside of the car. Look infront of the radiator.

Its sorta round. It clips into this little metal loop in the front bumper. If it's jammed next to the radiator, I think it'll read high.
