Hi
That outside temp sensor is located in the passenger side door mirror, See my previous post on that one.
Now to the fans
Its normally a dirty electrical connection that causes the fans to stop working.
Ok, Inside the fusebox to the right of the drivers knee behind the little door that just pulls off remove fuse no 2 a 5 amp & turn the ignition on, Do the fans cut in at slow speed now?
If you have aircon, Switch it on with the ignition, Do the fans cut in?
Check the fuses under the bonnet in the small black fuse box near the power steering fluid bottle.
Hidden behind the passenger side headlamp is the fans / aircon control box or to give it its correct name BITRON box, Sometimes these go wrong.
Sometimes the fan motors fail.
Do the easy fuse checks first, Then you need to unplug the 3 fan relays behind the front grill & check the terminals are clean & bright & the same for the plugs too.
To get the grill off, 1 x 10mm bolt in each top corner, 1 x cross head screw in each bottom corner between the slats & unclip ( If its still there ) The black plastic clip that holds the plastic bonnet release pull handle to the grill.
Lift the grill off, While its off, hoover all the dead leaves out from behind the fans.
CAUTION! The fans CAN run without the key even being in the ignition!
( When you have fixed them! )
Check out this link, Its really helpful & explains the BITRON & fans in great detail.
Click on "ELECTRICAL" at the top & then on "306 Cooling fans, Basic pricipals of operation" in the list on the left.
I know it says 306, But they are the same as the 405 & most other PSA cars
