Yes
Did the 3Xs hazard method and the pump brake turn key method.Both put it in re-learn mode. The re-learn tool didnt work on both attempts.
So I went to Discount Tire, which was a ghost town, and had the tech use their tool. He said the batteries are dead on all 4. Seems strange they would go all at once.
He quoted $70 per wheel.
Any way to DIY this?

I agree. Four at once? Dare I bring it to the dealer?

I do not have a problem using our local dealer and have often been of the opinion negativity is overdone. Having worked as a technician I know first hand what it is like to be working my tail off and still either being distrusted or disrespected. There is good and bad in all occupations.

Hope everyone is safe and doing ok.
Its been a crazy time to say the least.
So I figured out what my problem was. The same shop that did the defective brake pads also mounted the new wheels. They never swapped out the sensors from my old wheels so now I have none.
Which brings me to my question.
What are the best or does anyone have any experience with after market TPMS sensors?
Or do I just go OEM?

The OEMS are cheap if you buy them yourselves.
Never transfer sensors to another wheel. Just install new ones. Not worth the hassle.
