A/C ambient temp problem

The ambient temp reads -22 all the time unfortunately that's what my a/c goes by so I'm getting hot air. I've replaced both the front right sensor as well as the control module NO change. I live in the Az. desert please help

Assuming the sensor you installed is good (was it new or a junkyard part), the you might want to check the wire harness for cuts or damage. The wire harness runs up into the engine compartment by the coolant overflow tank.

Same thing happened to me. The default temp on the ambient temp sensor is -22. I replaced my sensor and it works perfect
