I have a 2017 Ram 1500 4wd with 50,000 miles. I had new tires installed. The tire pressure sensor had never come on. When I left, my right rear sensor was not working. The other 3 were. I went to the dealer and got a new one. Went by yesterday and had the new sensor put in my right rear rim. When I left, the right rear sensor wasn't working and the right front had stopped working. Nothing on the right front was touched. It was working when I went in and not working when I left. Do you think the new sensor was bad and the right front just happened to go bad? It doesn't seem possible to me. Has any one bought a new sensor which was bad? How is the signal from the rim picked up by the computer? I don't know if that could be the problem. I can not find any way to reset the sensors. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Need to get it to someone who has a scan tool. (Discount Tire, local tire etc) and have them scan each sensor to see if they are sending a signal. It is possible, but not probable that they would go out like that. I have replaced one on my wife's 2014 T&C but the other three are still factory original.

It’s possible the sensor locations were mixed up by the RF hub and it didn’t know which tire was wear. I see this a lot with failed sensors. It may show one location that’s not working but it’s not always actually that location that has a fault.

It’s best to get them all tested.
