Tried several replacement sensors to address the bizarre readings I was getting from mine (-40 one day). Turned out to be corrosion in the wiring loom close to the multi plug. You'll find this mounted on a clip near to the horns at the end of the fog light loom. I found one wire in particular was broken, so bypassed this either side of the multi plug. It's a common fault.

HTH

just because new doesnt mean working im afraid

but due to salt and crud getting in and around the multiplug check that first

Usual places for broken wires are areas where loom separates, for example area where leads for fog lights come out of loom...
