Default Exterior temp sensor keeps jumping to Celsius

Anyone dealt with this? Recently my exterior temp sensor readout keeps jumping to Celsius (I'm in USA). Should I shell out for a new display unit?

I'm sure it's just a button issue....you could either buy a new one or try and take it apart and inspect it.

Does it light up at night? If so, the bulb or whatever lights up in mine is dead.

That was happening to one of my cars when I purchased it. Ended up being a blown fuse in the fuse box. Sorry that I can't remember exactly which one at this time (seems like it may have been the lighter) but check EVERY fuse in the fuse box.
