Default Outside temp thing

So on my 2000 xj it has this thing on the roof that tells me my miles left on the tank, the mpg, and more. They all work except for the temperature outside. It always says 0°c. How do I fix it

Hmm. This may not be much help considering I have a 96 xj and don't have this luxury. My guess would be either a bad sensor that reads this temperature or a disconnected sensor. But I don't know where it would be located haha

It's located behind the bumper in the middle in front of the rad cradle.

I thought this was for tearing a hole in the space-time continuum, to let my Jeep slip forward.
