Thermometer on the inside.

Hello everyone,
My 2013 Galaxy has a 2L diesel engine and dual zone air conditioning. With the exception of the fact that I need to dial it up to around 26 degrees Celsius in order to achieve a pleasant temperature, everything is fine. Once I've set it, the temperature stays the same regardless of the weather. I don't think it can go higher than 27, and the temperature I've had to set it to has been steadily rising for some time!

I haven't scanned it yet, but I'm curious as to where the temperature sensor is—it seems like the most likely culprit—so I can gauge the scope of the necessary repairs.

I want to mention that I have already attempted the calibration with the heater controls.

Much obliged

That's an unusual problem with the temperature control in your Galaxy! Having to crank it up to 26C just to be cosy sounds like a major hassle, especially considering how slowly it has been increasing. Did anything out of the ordinary occur or did you get any codes when you attempted the calibration? Including that information might assist in determining if the issue lies with the sensor or not.

I am grateful for your reply.

This weekend, I will install Forscan on a laptop that I have. I'll verify that with what I have. Attach a report if I am unable to identify a solution or if additional data is available.

With two temperature controls, you'd think it would act differently on each side, but I can't be sure. I hope it has, because I expect to see two readings.

Just one sensor, under the steering column, by the driver's left knee, if that helps anybody. Like other Fords of its era, I think this one is pretty standard.
As the heating was turned on, the temperature on the scanner rose from 30°C with 10° ambient to 40°. Except for one, every sensor reads ambient. Got a new one on the way.
