ambient temperature display shows ---F only

Good afternoon, my name is Jimmy and just bought an 07' tacoma sport 4x4 ,I love it but the ambient temperature display only shows ---F , compass works fine no problem , I took it apart like the other threads show and the 510 resistor are fine and they look good as well , no loose ends or broken pieces , even replaced the ambient sensor (by the front grill $20.00) and still does not work , please someone help don't know what else to do. Thanks

Id flow some fresh solder in there anyhow, ya never know

 

Thanks... I'll try it tonite and let you guys know tomorrow.

 

Ok... so I tried this weekend re flowing the solder on the resistor, but mine doesn't say 510 , see pictures

 

So I did some research and the compass/temperature guage is for a 2009 tacoma and it's not compatible with my 07' tacoma. Has anybody heard of this before ?? And if someone needs a 2009 guage I can sell you or trade you for one of a 05'-07' tacoma, see attached pics

 

sadly thats well known to sellers..............

did u swap it or did a prior owner?

 

It's odd that they'd have a different marking, but the marking is the same. Close to 51 ohms on yours, and 510 means 51 (and zero 'ten multipliers') ohms. (512 would be 5100 ohms, for example -- 51x10x10.)
