It seems like everyone with SR5P reported of failure so far.
Dang, didn't know only SR5P owners were the ones having trouble. Guess it's just us.

This sucks... my Baja designs fogs aren't working, they haven't since I installed the sensor. Fuses are still all good. don't know how this is related, but it must be.

Hey everyone so I had this same problem, but I have a solution. First, Find a sturdy paper clip and bend it like a small fish hook. Next you want to fish out the wires that connect to the back of your broken plastic. Then slowly guide the clip out in reverse (you may want to tape a mirror to your windshield to see plus a little led light). The clip gives less resistance in reverse. Continue using the paper clip until you are sure it's angled properly then use gentle force to pull it out with the paper clip hook.

Next, for those that didn't use electrical tape. The trick to remove this cheap sensor is to pull it up straight up. Pushing up at one angle will replicate my problem I and others have had on this thread (making you loose your head, literally). So use floss and wrap it around then whip it up like a noose. Good luck guys

My ebay china came in yesterday works like a champ on my 19 ORP. Set light dial right below max click. Turn on head lights. Shine light on sensor, dash lights get brighter. Remove the light dash darkens up.

Were you able to get that to work or is this just a theory? Honest question

I bought this part for my 2020 ORP and the plug shape is completely different. I assume they changed the plug for 2020 or else I was sent the wrong part.

Instrument lights dimming sensitivity = Darkest
Instrument lights restoring sensitivity = Normal

Does work with my 19 ORP. I settled with dimming = darkest, restoring = darker. I think it works really well for cloudy days, but wish there was a setting beyond darkest for dusk on sunny days.

They changed it for 2020. Someone earlier in this thread advised of the same thing.

I bought that one for my 2020 ORP and it works. I can leave my headlights on all the time and the infotainment system goes into day mode when its bright outside, night mode when its dark.

The further I venture into this T4R world, the more it makes me think Toyota is the car version of HK (firearms); “Because you suck. And we hate you”.

Oh well not much wasted on a $5 part. Everything snapped back in quicker than it came out.
Very helpful info - thanks for sharing!

Anyone discover a knock-off sensor that works yet? The OEM price is crazy.

For reference, my 2014 TEP does not have the harness attached to the dummy plug. The 2014 had some other electronic differences(e.g. clock display showing compass and range/mpg) so that may be why.

Thanks for this. Did this on my 2018 ORP the other day. Pulled the existing piece using the suggested credit card method, then slipped a loop of electrical tape in between the wires to ensure they didn’t fall back inside and popped on the new sensor, everything just worked.

Can you post (or send me) a link or info about which sensor you bought? I bought one of the Tennessee ones, but it doesn't work on my 2018 SR5.

would love to do this for my 2020 ORP. Is there a known factory part# that works and will fit the 4pin set up that snowpeak posted?
