couple issues, any advice greatly appreciated.

I have two questions. I change my rims 2 yrs ago with new tpms sensors. I never synchronize the sensor to the car since I install the rims 2yrs ago. The light is on since. I went to one shop that wanted $200 and another that wanted $175. I still have the original tire in the garage with the tpms that is already synchronize to the car.
I was thinking about breaking all 8 beads and switching the sensors. Does this sound like too much work? would the sensor still be active on the factory rims? or is it better just to take it to the shop and paid the money?

I usually just drive my car on the weekend and I notice the that when I go in the car sometime the steering wheel and seat memory don't go to the preset position, also the climate control loose the last position it was set at.

One day I was giving my car a quick wipe down while it was warming up and notice there was a clicking noise coming from under the hood. I open the hood and notice the noise was coming from both headlight. Anyone experience this problem and what was the fix? Thank You.

Tpms find another shop, discount tire here in my state does it for free! Might even get the dealer to do it if you have any service done on it like oil change or something! The headlight issue is a common failure of the AFS if you're under warranty or extended warranty it's covered, otherwise just turn off the switch on your left side where the key slot is! Simple solution but not fixing it by any means...

I agree with BG's response. Finding a reasonable source to activate the sensors is the path of least resistance.

That being said, you can break the bead on the tires and swap out the TPMS. You will need a few small blocks of wood or similar to keep the tire bead far enough away from the wheel rim on both sides of the TPMS so you can get at the TPMS.

I did this to replace the TPMS seal on one of my tires. All went well with the R&R, but I still have a leak!

You need to be careful not to drop the TPMS into the tire while removing it. I removed the unit with the tire in the vertical position (as the tire sits on the car) with the TPMS up at 12 o'clock. Secondly, the TPMS nut that holds the unit in place has an inch foot pound torque spec....do not overtighten!

I have read reports that a few have encountered sensors seized onto the wheel assembly, but mine came off with no problem and has been in place untouched for 9 years. All in all, it is a hassle if you are doing it yourself, these tires & wheel assemblies are heavy!
