You can try disconnecting the batttey for 10-15 min. but most likely its the temp sensor. It's under the radiator cover

Was I dreaming???

Temp Readout

If your temp readout is stuck on -40, that usually indicates an open somewhere in the circuitry or the sensor is open.

Well I tried disconnecting the battery. That did not work. Back on July 4th I was in a fender bender. I was hit on the left front side of my truck. I am thinking that the body shop did not hook the sensor back up when they replaced parts on the front end.
