Just took delivery of a loaded black 2007.
The EVIC shows direction correctly but the thermometer is stuck on 54 degrees.
Is there a thermometer reset?
Disconnect battery?
Any advice appreciated.
TIA

Have you met the parameters in the owner's manual. You have to drive it at some minimum speed for a minimum amount of time for it t change if I remember. Basically, if all you've done is short trips, you may need to look it up in the manual. If that's not the answer...sorry, can't help.

One day mine seemed stuck on 61 degrees. Didn't budge when i knew the outside temputature was changing. Next day things seemed normal. Maybe it was reminding me I was driving a 6.1

My '09 is stuck at 63F and it's more like 83F here today. Had her out about a half hour, shut her down for a wash and still didnt budge on restart. Never saw this before. I only took a short trip around town today. Anyone know the deal here? Thanks.

Check and make sure the sender isn't damaged. Its right behind the grille on the passengers side.
