06 rendezvous that the digital temp display for outside temp is wrong. The display reads 32 degree and it is actually 80 degrees so the A/C does not cool vehicle down. What is the problem?

Suspect a failure in the ambient air temp sensor. Has the vehicle ever been in a frontal collision? This sensor is normally located in front of the radiator assembly bolted to the rad support. If it is reading a cold temperature, it will not allow the AC to operate

SOURCE: temperature control sensor?

Sounds like a loose connection -38 is probably the open circuit position. Not sure where the sensor would be though.

Temperature says it is -32 degrees outside when it is + 32 degrees

Really? waah...waah. My car doesn't even have a temp gage. It's a good car. Don't worry about it. Use the weather app on your phone.

My outside temperture display runs about 10 degrees hotter than the actual outside temperture. can this be adjusted?

im not sure if this can be abjusted or not but i can tell you why its saying its hotter that in realy is.. its because its telling you the temp under the hood. its recording the heat from the engen.....so this adds a few degrees to the actual outside air temp.... i hope this helps you

Air temp indicator only reads temps below 50 degrees

Ambient air temp sensor could be the cause. Normally located in front grille area.
