Where did you mount the probe... How did you protect it? I think I'd try either in the trunk, or inside one of the tail-light assemblies first. At sixty miles per hour, the airstream hitting the sensor will cool it nearly as much as being wet. You need to find someplace outside of the airstream, where it wont get wet, and it's not near any heat source. The glove box? :-) John -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | John R.
