Yeah. I was worried about that too. The clip-in tabs for the dummy plug are totally different than the light sensor tabs. It will require dash disassembly to remove a failed unit. Better test it with a flashlight before snapping it into place.

Bro,

You need one of these more than you do that sensor.

I suppose if it doesn't last you're simply back where you started - with a dummy plug that probably just isn't worth the trouble to remove this time around?

2015 SR5 Premium

I just got my part and installed in a 2015 SR5 Premium. No luck for me! Can anybody confirm this sensor will work in a 2015 SR5 Premium? I have 3 wire harness just like those pictured above, have made sure panel lights aren't locked on max dial, changed entune 2.0 to not override night mode... just doesn't want to work.

Or... possibly a bad sensor!?!? Any ideas or confirms?

2015 SR5 Premium

@Old Red Many thanks for the clear pictures and instructions on what to look for! I'll pull the knee panel tomorrow morning and get back to this thread to report my findings! Thanks again!

When I first installed my sensor, I tested it with a LED flashlight in the garage, and nothing, it didn’t seem to work (thumbwheel not clicked up).

A few days later, I changed the brightness setting in Carista, and now it works great. I had originally posted that it didn’t work.

Angry Sensor needs wiring on 2015 SR5 Premium

I pulled my panel apart today and was really frustrated at what I found (see pics). It appears that the secondary harness from the light sensor does not terminate at the MPX Body ECU. I looked everywhere for the sensor wires (red, blue, pink) and could not find them anywhere. Did not remove the instrument cluster to look behind there.

@Old Red , did you have to run more wire to join the end of the sensor wire harness to the MPX Body ECU with the parts listed in your previous post? Also, just so others know, the MPX Body ECU on a 2015 SR5 Prem is located to the left of the steering wheel right behind the windshield defrost and inverter buttons on the "knee panel". At least I now know why the sensor doesn't work... I appreciate your help and suggestions!

Just wanted to post my results. NOT all SR5 PREMIUMS are fully wired to work out of box with a light sensor. Mine is a 2015 SR5 Premium, and this is no "5 minute mod" for me I'm afraid.

I tried your suggestion using TechStream v12 before tearing my lower dash apart to inspect further. Looks like my sensor isn't fully wired to MPX Body ECU despite the dummy sensor in-dash having a harness. Just posting to save somebody else the frustration. Thanks!

I found it easier to use a credit card and pry from the window side of the dummy cap. There seems to be a bit of a lip exposed enough to insert a credit card and lift up.

Sorry for the delay, I have had the part a couple weeks but had left it uninstalled at my fishing camp. I installed this morning in my 2017 TRD Offroad Premium and the harness was there. All works as advertised. Auto dimming at night plus the ~3000 lumens I just put in for reverse lights should really help me a ton backing the rig up in the dark.

Thanks OP.
