Went to check my tire pressure this morning cause light was on. Twisted the cap off and my valve stem sheered off. Had to get towed to shop this morning and they are looking for the parts. How much do the TPMS cost? can i go with regular stems and pull the fuse so there is no light?

 

Sorry to laugh, but the same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago! The whole valve stem came off the right front wheel.

The stealerships told me it was on national backorder, so I called the Goodyear Tire store around the corner. They had me going in about 4 hours (the truck had to bring the part), all said and done out-the-door for $112.00!

 

SOB. just talked to a guy at work. Same thing happened to him, not in a XF but in another car. I already know mines gonna be over 200 cause of the $95 tow 2 blocks to shop

 

ok i told him to put regulat stems on. He said $175 per TPMS +labor and program = 475+tow=$570. I said no way put reg in. $40 each isntalled

 

Put tape over the light and dont worry bout it mann. Woody

The fuses do more than one light.

 

Is there access behind the dash, or removing the instr panel, to get the bulb out for the TPMS warning indicator?

 

I looked in my manual and it said an alert will sound. Is this true? how can I stop it?

 

I just took in my wheel when I had mine fixed........ I plan to take the car in for some other issues, so my TPMS light has been on since the repair. I'll have them reprogram it when I take the car in.

I have had no problems, warnings, alerts, buzzers, etc. since it was fixed. I wouldn't worry about it.

 

No audible sounds with the TMS ....just a light on the dash.
Cover it with a small piece of black electrical tape and forgetta bout it

 

Done. Got out the door for 130 including tow. Also whats the law on TPMS and properly maintaining a vehicle? A guy at work told me if I get into a wreck because of my tires now i could be held responsible because I disabled my standard sensors. Any truth to this?
