Ok so my TPMS light is blinking...but no air loss. Ok prob a bad sensor or dead battery in the sensor..i dont know. Neways...i dont really need to "sensor" to tell me when i have no air pressure..I check air every sunday and if Tire blows or i run over something sharp Ill be able to tell im no fool.

My question is..would I be able to pull a fuse and get the light to go away or would it interfere with something else on the car? ABS perhaps? ok and if that is not possible..how much to have dealer to fix it? im guessing at least 100 bucks.

Thanks all

i bought aftermarket rims. my light blinks about after 10 minutes of driving. its annoying but hey i got used to it. plus my brother had some valve stem thingys that sorta tell u when air pressure is low. but getting rid of that annoying light would be nice.

TPMS is federal law known as the Tread Act (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TREAD_Act) It's not going away anytime soon. As for getting rid of the light the only proven way is with black tape. I would live with it till the next time you need tires.
