Did youmake sure the connection is good? Are both connections clean? I had a problem after after I installed mine, but I just had to make sure the sensor was in the socket good. It was slipping so I just put like a zip tie to hold it in tight.

Did you try disconnecting the battery for a few seconds then reconnect it? To let the computer reset. And I don't think you can change it from farehheit, I'm not sure though.
