Dgigear · Jun 27, 2017

Anybody every have tpms installed on the tires and then the light is still on for over 500 miles. I think I need to take it to the dealer to have looked at. Any ideas on what the deal is. It on a 2013 1500

Well I have tried the dealer and I get the run around. They said go back to where you got them. So I did they reprogrammed them and they still don't work. I think it's the module and not the sensors in the tires now.

Had my factory ones swapped into my new tires when I swapped the rims out, had no issues. A year down the road I decided to get new tires, had them just swap the tires out and all of a sudden one isn't working. Went back to the place of install and they claim everything is good. I asked if they think it's possible that the installer may have broken one on accident and didn't tell them, and the dude about jumped my ass. So I go to the dealership to get my truck checked out because on the hand held computer, it's reading all of the sensors. 2 hours later after checking everything on my truck and realizing that they can't replicate the problem, they decide to swap out the sensor in the tire to try that route. Low and behold, the sensor that was in it was not the factory one, and it wasn't the correct one that the 2015's need. Was a 2013 model. They wouldn't let me have the sensor because they helped me out and changed it under warranty, but I was ready to bust in the other place and chunk it at the guy's face. I can honestly say I'll never do any business with them again.

Long story short, check the sensors first.

Happened to me several times on one vehicle or another. Always was an aftermarket sensor programmed incorrectly or running at the wrong frequency. Tire shop broke one and, without mentioning it, replaced it with a generic. Took them about 4 tries to get it programmed right. Some sensors are more difficult to program than others.
