I had the same issue. Bought mine at DTD online and called them with the issue. They advised me to go to my local Discount Tire...they will do what ever it takes to fix it. They worked on mine once a week for 4 months. We finally just took out the TPMS that I bought through them, and installed my OEM ones. Works great now....no issues at all. They also refunded me the money. When I walk in there they all know me by name too. I will always buy from them now...outstanding customer service.

If that's the case I have 5 stock tpms I'll sale for $105. That's half of what discount charges for new ones that don't work.

I live in Jersey and there are no DTD near me. Other shops don't want to help if you didn't buy tires from them. So I am a little stuck. It's not like I can send 5 tires back. Plus they sold me the chrysler oem tpms with my tires so no reason why they shouldn't work.

Auto Zone sells tire pressure gauges for $5 and a small piece of electrical tape completely covers that TPMS light.....lol.....The other $200 bucks could have bought a bunch of tri-tip and beer!!!

The new TPMS sensors need to be "calibrated" to the vehicle from what I recall. You can't just put new ones in and expect them to work. The money spent on new sensors is half way to a tuner that can disable TPMS.

I disabled mine with Superchips.
