If this fails cut the wire 2” or so from the plug and tape the ends of. Maybe the next owner can fix it correctly or ignore it.
Good luck.

If I can't get it, the wire shall be cut as I use a wide range of four letter words upon it.

Was at my regular DR yesterday and he offered to freeze all the (what they call all the permanent sun-damaged spots) pre-cancer areas on my face. I thought only dermatologists did that procedure but I said, "sure, go ahead." They hurt a little last night but today all the pain is gone. He said they'd all scab-up and permanently heal in the next 10 days, but in the mean-time I wouldn't be "pretty"! If that's all it takes to get rid of an entire life-time of being roasted in the Florida sun... I'll take it!

When I went to have it looked at he said "can you come in tomorrow?". I said "is there an option?" He said "If you wanna live, no." That's when they cut an ellipse around the lesion and remove it with a scalpel.

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.

To get at the TPMS/HomeLink connector, just remove the dome light and you can see the wires going into it. Remove the connector, use a pick or other fine tipped tool and depress the top of pin 2 so it will slide out. Push the pin back into the connector in the 6th position and reinstall the connector. Reinstall the dome light and you are finished.
