I know this is old, but I'm second for this question.
In my 98 Navi, outside temp reading is about 20 celcius below actual temperature.
It is changing corectly up and down, but reading is too low...
I repleaced it with the one dedicated to explorer, but no joy... reading to high...
So I'm thinking to add some resistance to the sensor in order to have a good reading... The replacement part is probably cheap in US, but it is not availiable here in Poland... Thanks in advance

Ford has used the same sensor (DY-718) for most (but not all) EATC-equipped vehicles from 1993-2007. As long as Stanislaw did not get a sensor for a 98-01 (DY-841) or 06-07 (DY-1054) Explorer, it should work. Which specific part number was used?

my replacement - F87F-12A647-AA = F87Z12A647AA = Motorcraft DY-841
You need the F3VF-12A647-AA = F3VY12A647A = DY-718
Here are all the applications that use the DY718:
