I have a spare Fahrenheit module..... But, I would double check your wiring and test your probe. There's not a whole lot inside that temp module that can actually go wrong. It's one chip, and LCD and a backlight.

Use a meter to verify that the probe is working. Sometimes, because of where they are located (front license plate) they get crushed by feeble parking attempts, and either short out or open circuit.

The screen is all messed up. There is a big black spot in the middle of it. I've grounded the two brown wires, green wire it connected through to the probe, and given juice from a spare battery to the big black wire and the black/red wire. All I get is the backlight. And I can't see the display working at all.

How do you test the probe?
