    Hey All - thanks for the help. So I had the C4 fab hybrid bumper put on my truck last week (figured out post-install it messes with the sensor). So i bought a relocation kit, however when I went to install I noticed that there's 2 wires unplugged. The one is at the top by the right headlight and it looks to be the sensor wire for TSS (pics attached), and there's also one unplugged at the bottom (pics attached also).

    Should something be plugged into these 2 ends, if so.. what? And should I take it back to the shop.

    TIA!

    Don’t have my truck to check right now because it’s in the body shop, but the plug in the second and third pic definitely needs to be plugged in for the sensor to work. Do you not have any warnings on your console display?
    Your first pic actually has two plugs in it. I’d wager the male in the right of the pic goes into the female in the 2nd/3rd pics.
    Just poke around your bay some more I’m sure you’ll find 4 total.
    If not, someone actually helpful will be through here shortly I’m sure ;)

    There are warnings, which I was lead to expect because of the mid height bar causing issues with the TSS. What I'm not sure of is what actually plugs into the adapter in the 2/3 pics. First pic has the end that plugs in to the sensor plus some little random one at the bottom. :(

    Acccctualllyyyy i think the smaller plug in the one with the two photos is for the fog lights that are no longer there.. that would make sense.

    Which leaves the plugin end for the sensor, and then the end in pics 2/3 (but i have no idea what is supposed to plug in to this end?)

    The green and white wire plug is the fog lights. The other plug is for the sensor in the toyota emblem in the grill.

    (Red being fog) or no? Because I feel like I recall that brown clip going into a hole in the 2rd/3rd pic

    No. Top circle gets plugged into the sensor itself. Bottom circle is what I am trying to figure out. Red circle is for the fog lights.

    Really. Where does bottom circle lead? I’m almost positive I recall the yellow circles matching when I was messing with this stuff

    sorry to be editing and deleting so much!
    Edit: yea! Blue circle above is top yellow in my pic

    Update to all - so if you run the hybrid front bumper or anything that has a winch/blocks the sensor just snag a relocation kit from AJT. Took all of ~10 minutes when removing my stupidity from it. No dash lights, relocated it to the upper left side.. Pics attached. Zip tied it to an empty spot, seemed to hold up fine for now until i muster up the courage to go get a screw/washer/nut that works. Will create a separate thread for updates and whatnot, but since you joined me on the journey.
