Review: Fits Perfectly. Saved Me About $1,800 - I tried a less a less expensive brand of this part first. The wiring harness couldn't attach, and the round end of the sensor was too wide to fit onto the compressor. The Dorman fit perfectly, and my ac works again. I have a 2011 Toyota Sienna XLE. A local shop had told me I needed a new compressor. Replacing the sensor is difficult. The original part is hard to remove, and there's very little room for your hands unless you do some disassembly. But for me it was well worth the effort.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ NOT easy to remove old: 2014 Sienna
*by C***E on May 16, 2025*

2014 Sienna V6. Give yourself a good long afternoon and a case of beer. A 6 pack won't be enough. As some others have noted, it is NOT always easy to remove the old sensor. Ended up picking / swearing / using a rotary tool to slowly chip away to get the old part out...it did not just wiggle out after removing the C clip. And about that clip...holes are different sizes, and one is smaller than any clip pliers I had. Had to remove fan assembly, to access, which meant temporarily disconnecting top radiator hose, air intake, and coolant overflow tank (relatively easy). Maybe 3 hours to get out, only 20 mins to reassemble everything. Used a wee bit of dielectric grease before reinserting sensor. AC working again. Hope it lasts.
