The outdoor temperature sensor in the 2017 Ford Edge records the outside temperature and sends it to the car's computer. You can find it under the front corner of the grille or the front bumper on the passenger side of the car, connected to a cable. If there are issues with the sensor, it could affect your ability to control the cabin temperature. The HVAC system relies on the outdoor sensor to regulate the amount of hot or cool air being circulated inside the car. The sensor may get dirty, blocked, or damaged, which could lead to degradation. Replacing the sensor typically costs between $120 and $150 for parts and labor.
