TPMS W/ New Wheels?

Logan · **Posted:** Wed Jul 02, 2008 2:04 pm

As some of you may know i ordered new rims and when i took themn to get them mounted today i got a call about 45 minutes later saying that the tpms sensors would not clear the fake beadlock. so a few questions on how to get this fixed, so i can get them mounted, and then post pics!

1.) If i just tell him not to use the sensor valve stems how often is there a chime. i dont mind the light on the dash tht can be covered/ tape. is it only on the vehicle start up?
2.) is there anyway to disable the tpms completely?
3.) are there any after market sensors that will work?

Heres a picture of the rims.

I have 2004 renegade.

Thanks,
Logan

Well, I just use electrical tape over mine. The chime only sounds one time upon start up. That's all. I don't even notice anymore. It did take a month or so to get use to it, but now I can't even tell. There is no way to disable it completely. Tried and tried again and no go. Safety feature built into the computer I guess. As far as aftermarket sensors go, not sure. I don't know of any and I haven't checked though, so hopefully there is something that will work or you if the tape idea doesn't do it for you. Hope this helps.

Nope, no aftermarket sensors are available...there are too many different setups for different TPMS systems on different cars to make it profitable.

I think in the next few years, you'll be able to get TPMS-compatible steel wheels.

Ok well I am just going to take them out and put electrical tape over the light. Now if I could just figure out how to get the dash panel off haha. :roll:

Thanks guys
Promise I will post pics when I get back ion town and get them mounted!

I just put mine over the clear plastic cover because I didn't want to hassle with taking it out. If you do take it out show some pics because I may end up doing that.

I waited until it was dark out to show you how it covers it when lit up.
The first pic shows where and how long the pieces are and the second show when lit up. During the day the black blends in perfectly so I never see it.

Hope those help.

Thanks mike it looks good. Now I don't think I'm even going to bother with taking off the dash panel!

By the way the TPM's on the 04's will not work with steel wheels, even if they did fit the beadlocks. You need a magnet to re-set the sensors on the older ones and thus no steel wheel comapibility.
