After going back and forth Tire Rack agreed to pay for me to swap them with the sensors in the stock tires and return the ones I bought.
Here is the strange part. When they removed the sensors in the new tires, they were the same exact make and models of the ones in the stock tires. Exactly the same. Yet the car would not read them. So after putting the original sensors back in bam, they worked! The dealer had no problem re-syncing the original sensors. So no idea why that happened, puzzling???

Don't know if our sensors have batteries but we had that same issue with my 2012 Lancer. We could not get the damned TireRack sensors to work no matter what we tried. Pulled a tire to check the installation and all looked good. Then the Service manager comes out and pulls the little plastic strips that separate the battery from the contactor out and Bingo!
