  • Auto headlights on 2007 Grande?

    Hello Prado People!

    I have just purchased a 2007 Grande. I have noticed that there is a light sensor on the dashboard (part 89121-50020) but the light stalk has no 'Auto' headlight settings. I am not sure if this is the original stalk. I figured the part number for original stalk would be 84140-26150. I have tried to find pictures of the stalk but couldn't find any. Would someone be able to confirm if the original stalk on Grande has stalk with Auto settings?

    I have searched the threads here and tried to find a manual but could not find anything. The manual I found online was for 2009 Prado and not sure if that would be same as 2007? If someone has a link to owners manual can you please share? Also, if someone knows how to find workshop manual you're welcome to DM

    Thank you in advance.

    I’m not personally aware of this question coming up before. I’ve got a 2005 Grande with the auto headlight sensor too, but no provision on the stalk for auto lights either. I don’t think there’s an auto light provision in our cars. Unsure if 08/09 models have it or not.

      That sensor on the dash is for the climate control for the AC. It helps to increase the fan speed in conjunction with the inside temp.

        Thank you for your reply Bret1979 and amts. The part definitely is a light sensor just not sure what the function is. Found some thread (can't remember now where) that suggested that it senses sunlight for climate control. But happy to know that the stalk hasn't been swapped for a different model.

          Actually I stand totally corrected. The Grandes do have auto lights. I feel like such a dummy because I never knew myself. On the stalk is a turntable switch that is a ring of plastic on the light stalk. Turn that to on or off. My mate who has a 2009 Grande pointed that out to me over the weekend. He reckons the sensor on the dash is for the auto lights. I guess one way to test with the car running is cover the sensor up with the auto light switch set to on & and find out, then remove the cover.

            The second switch (Ring of plastic) is for the Fog lights. All the Australian release Grandes I've seen do not have auto lights. There is no Auto setting on the stalk for them.

            The part you all describe is however listed as Auto light control and not anything to do with climate. I have heard rumours that it samples incoming light to adjust the climate control, but have no idea if this is the case. My understanding is it is for the models that come out with auto lights.

            I have also read writeups where people have replaced the turn stalk with one from a similar car (Corolla, sequoia, tundra etc) that have the AUTO setting on the stalk and it has worked. Same as intermittent wipers on some models, replacing the stalk activates it.
