When disabling TPMS is wiring in behind dome light is that for the roadster as well.

 

Yes, same for roadster

 

Thanks Rudy!

 

Appreciate the DIY! Mission accomplished.

 

Thanks to forum member bluecoupe for posting this link to a clear "how to" with pictures . . .

Just re-posting it in this thread . . .

 

This is a wonderful solution to a TPM system that rarely works.Much bette than looking at tape. At 62 I have lived without TPMS most of my life and can feel a low tire but I check them monthly.
For me it was simple to just disconnect the small connector and not move any wires because I have never used the garage door opener. I did leave a little a print copy of your instructions in the SRT6 glovebox with a note for the next owner as an option if they want to reactivate the opener. I don't race this car so I feel safe.
The TPMS system is another Government requirement for those that don't have too much sense. Another aggravation!

 

Awesome, I'll need to do this.


Thanks

 

Great write up!

It was an easy job.
Here are 2 pictures of wire #2 in slot #6. I hope it helps.

 

Is there a way for safety to know that you've disabled your tpms?

 

There is a tiny plug connector located above the cabin dome light assembly that controls the TPMS and the garage door opener. Just drop the light fixture and pull it apart. It kills both systems.
I don't have a garage door and the TPMS system was a perpetual pain in the ___ when you live in a Kentucky climate.
Note there is a thread on the forum from one of our Master Mechanics that tells you a single wire to remove and put it into a vacant opening to kill the TPMS only but I'm tooo blind to see those little tiny wires anymore. Both methods will work and I just check my tires once a month now instead of every time that light comes on.

 

I had my dome light assembly off this weekend, as I was replacing the auto dim rear view mirror in my '04, and had remembered about this little trick that I had read about on here about disabling the TPMS light. However, even though I have read time after time that it is such an easy job, I simply could NOT get the wire to slide out of the harness, even after using 2 or 3 different "pin like" items to depress the top of the pin. Even with the rear view mirror, I ended up having to cut & splice the wires, using wire connectors, like I was swapping out radios in my High School hot rod. I was also a bit leary, since I DO use the garage door opener feature, as it works great! Maybe someone could post a few pics on how exactly they "press down the top of the pin & pull out the wire".

 

[QUOTE=rcompart;537700]Easiest way to disable it is to remove the wire from pin 2 (red highlight) and put it in the empty place of pin 6 (blue highligh). This will completely disable it and you will no longer have the light illuminate on the instrument cluster. This will not affect the HomeLink in any way so you don't lose that functionality.

 

A little trick I learned is to push the wire in first. Sounds counter-intuitive, I know. There is a lock "tab" on the metal terminal that sometimes puts tension against the plastic connector. (That prevents the wire from inadvertently dislodging from the connector.) Push the wire in, then use a small flat-bladed screwdriver to depress the metal terminal while pulling the wire out. You will notice a square "window" where the shiny terminal appears in the connector; that's where you will want to depress. From experience, it's easier to remove the #1 pin first; that gives you a little more room to grab the gray/yellow wire. Sounds complicated, but you will slap yourself in the forehead once you achieve success. Good luck!

 

We need to rename this thread "How to hack your car into lower resale value."

Or

How to deceive a potential new owner."

 

I strongly disagree with those thoughts / opinions on this subject . . .

 

Thanks. That's what i did. The tape is really unnoticeable . The light would not go out even though the tire pressure was correct. The hell with it. Just check the pressure every 3 or 4 weeks.

 

 

So . . . You put a piece of black tape over the light?? That was not the purpose of this thread . . . SEE POST #3 in this thread. You can also follow this link for detailed instructions with photos . . .

DO IT RIGHT!

 

Another "Thank You" to Rudy, from another satisfied customer! No more low tire pressure idiot light!

 

White connector
I made this modification today as the TPMS light has decided it needs to be on constantly. It probably needs new batteries inside the tires but this component does not provide enough value to justify its overhead.

The only difficult part of doing this is removing the pin from the white connector. Here's what you need to do. Press a jeweler's screwdriver against the pin via the larger, lower rectangular opening. Pulling on the grey/yellow wire that'll allow you to extract it just enough so you can fit a pick underneath the pin (through that same opening) and force it out the rest of the way.
