My 2001 Screw Overhead Temperature Indicator has a problem. It isn't reading the temperature correctly. It is 10 to 20 degrees too high.
Does anyone have a fix for this?

 

I forget...but its in the manual for my 02 Screw
.

 

Thanks, but I didn't see any info in the 2001 manual.

 

I apologize...it shows how to calibrate the compass but not the temp.

That is a good question....sorry

 

I had the same problem for a while. What I did was go to where the probe is, I believe on the right front of the radiator shroud, and found lots of rust on mine. I clean it and painted it and it was right on. This worked for me, mine is a 2001 as well.

Replace the temp. sensor. Remove the radiator cover, and you'll see a small two-wire sensor on the drivers side in front of the radiator. Read these two threads: https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...hreadid=183606

Hey Guys,
Thanks for you help. I'll check it out this weekend.

 

Drive South for about 500 miles and it will be correct!
