Default Part Number for Twighlight Sentinel Light Sensor

I need the part number for the twilight sentinel light sensor on the dash( that plugs and unplugs like a fuse and has a blue dot in the center) for my 92 SSEi. Thanks guys

Little off topic.. where does it plug in? I've tried to pick up a couple and didn't take the time to figure out where the connector actually can be gotten to.

Twist and pull. The socket is built in to the trim.

There is no connector to speak of. At least not one you need.

The sensor has a bulb-type base with contacts. This locks into a socket in the dash upper trim bezel.

I've never seen the harness from this socket (buried in the dash) fail.

There ya go thinking again, without being properly equipped.....

I woouldn't have known either, tho. Only time I been in there was when I was bored sitting in a parking lot waiting for my son'* appointment to end. Pulled that trim piece off, seen what was under there, put it back.....

yea, without that part your headlights automatically come on, this is what my car does (I opted not to put one in there after the fix) I like it better this way, the lights come on when the engine is running and off when U shut off the engine.

kinda like DRL I guess.
