Exterior temperature issue

In my 2005 F-350 lariat I have the digital climate control and right now when I drive the exterior temperature slowly creeps up, yesterday it hit 45C when it was only 2C outside. It sucks because the climate control thinks it needs to cool the air coming into the cab and all I get is A/C when all I want is heat. Has any one else had this problem??

Did your outside temperature sensor get disloged and could possibly be touching the radiator? It is in your grill, and there is another forum with a picture of it. I'd start by checking it out.

I found my sensor dislodged, but not touching the radiator, I reattached it and it helped but didn't fix the problem. I went to Ford and bought a new sensor and that still didn't work, my temps get to 27C now instead of 45-50C ( it was 8C outside today). Any other ideas?? I really don't want to spend $110 an hour at Ford right now.
