turn the key 2 clicks but dont start the motor. if you push down either the left or right stalk (i forget which one) on the gauge cluster while turning the key from on to off, it will swap to *F

Yes, it didn't work because you turned the key 1 click to many! :D

The answer has been in your glove box all along (if you have an owners manual) ;)

To change the outside temp display from Celcius to Fahrenheit (or vice versa):
press and hold down the TRIP ODOMETER RESET BUTTON (on left side of instrument cluster) while turning the ignition to position 1 (ONE CLICK not two)...then back to 0 (off)...and then release the button.

The next time you turn the ignition on...the outside temp will display the other degree scale. ;)

(see text highlighted in yellow from the owners manual) :D
