The display (next to the clock) no longer shows the temperature–just some dashes. I presume the sensor is dead. Can anyone tell me where the sensor is located? Is it reasonably easy to get to? Does anyone know the part number/cost of a replacement? ---

It is located in front of the radiator on a bracket with a single wire going to it. Don’t know that part number. ---

Whatever the price is, it’s too high. Check the dash ground wires where they screw into the floor, then the connections to the sensor if there are any and then forget about fixing it. It’s only a toy.
