i'm somewhat happy with it, as my '02 ranger wouldn't pass yearly inspection with some of the rust it's currently got. i can explain it any way you'd like. i don't agree with the concept of spending all that money maintaining a singular idiot light, of something that we all should be visually checking before every drive anyways.

You paid for it already, It cost $0 to keep/maintain it. Now if you said you had a defective transmitter and did not want to purchase a new one I could almost see your point. You can not visually check pressure on low profile performance tires. |

I assume you've already gone through the phase of throwing parts at it and that it has a new vent solenoid and is still throwing a leak code? I've seen quite a few of those chrysler fuel pump units break at the lock ring and leak vapors from the top of the tank. |

I have to do that the next time I get the tires changed on my '04 Suburban. At least one of the sensors is out. They are about $50 for a set, so not exactly expensive, but not exactly free either. Fortunately, the Suburban just shows it on the info screen, you press a button and it goes away. It's not a constant light.

Not easily. I usually find them with an evap tester hooked up at the purge solenoid and a super sensitive microphone (snap-on sonic check) because I can never get eyes on.

What money are you spending on "TPMS maintenance?" At least for the first 5 or 6 years until the batteries in the sensors die? Arguably, you wasted more money going out of your way to disable everything, since you've basically disabled a system you already paid for when you purchased the vehicle...

i didn't get the car because it was new and nice, i got it because it was cheaper in the long run than rebuilding a rusty drift missile. now if you'll excuse me, there's some damn kids on my lawn that didn't learn their lesson last time
