I can let you know tomorrow I just got done changing the resistior to the 150 omh 1/2 watt. I had the 10 ohm that i install the first time and the light would stay off the first day and it would come back on the next day after the first 15 min ride. |

I put in the 150 Ohm resistor mod on Dec 2 and have had no problems in the ~150 miles I have driven since. I did not do the switch procedure as I do not intend to EVER go back to a TPMS. I personally see absolutely no value in TPMS whatsoever for me.
SO, if I ever buy another new car I will do this all over again! |

Just to verify:
If one chooses to do this mod without the switch, the connector remains UNPLUGGED from the TPWS module? |

OK, so I followed the first mod as CTScott knows... Then I followed the corrected 2nd version of the mod. I Left the first switch in the on position, Added a second push button switch with the 3 150 ohm resistors and it worked right up until the time I got up to highways speed. Then the darned light came back on. No amount of changing either switch changes anything at all.
Question. Can the dealer disable the entire TPMS system, even if it costs me? Has anyone had that done or know anything? I always check my own damed tires. I've never had anything like this to fall back on before and with my tire switching situation I'd just as soon loose TPMS all together at this point. |

Can you take some pictures of your wiring, so I can help you troubleshoot it? Mine has been running fine disabled (no light) since I posted the updated version on 11/30/08. |

I haven't even ef'd with the fix yet. I got just about every damn warning light on cause I switched steering wheel , rims, seats, seatbelts. At this point its probaly just easier for me to pull out the gauge cluster and pull the light bulbs out , Lol.
