We just recently bought a 2006 Freestar that the temperature display is flashing '-40F' at start up and eventually creeps up to around '-31F'. Is there a way to calibrate this like there is a way to calibrate the compass?? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

I also have a problem with accuracy on my 05 Freestar. Did you get any help with your problem? Thanks

 

Ditto here.... same problems... any help is appreciated!

 

You should probably get the vehicle checked for codes, there is a Smart Juntion Box that includes the compass and temp displays, there may be a code that will lead to the problem. A few years before I would say the ambient air temp sensor is bad, but on a '05 or newer there is so much electronics involved it is a bit more complicated than just saying the sensor is bad.
