Anyone insight on the following:
TPMS light came on (blink for a minute, then solid). I assumed it was dead sensors. Assumed correctly when Tire Discounters checked them. Said two had dead batteries. I bit the bullet and replaced all four with new units from Tire Discounters. They did the install start to finish. On the first day, the TPMS light came back on the same way (blink for a minute, then solid) just 20 minutes after leaving the shop. Took it back the next day and they tinkered with the system for another hour. Finally said it was finished. Sure enough, light was off and all the readings were correct as the tech showed me on their interface tool. Two days go by and the light comes back on the same way. I haven't been back yet since I went out of town immediately after that. The tire pressures are all okay at 37 psi.
I know I can return the sensors, have regular stems installed, and tape over the warning light, but that's a last resort. I'm almost there. Willing to give it a last shot.
