Leave it and turn it into a soup kitchen.

Man, people can suck sometimes.

Unrelated to vehicles, - my grandfather sold all of my grandmother's land when they got married to spite her family. So, yeah. People can suck.

Hell yeah. Extra points for Toyota; they're the shit. I drive Fords because they're available to me, but if I had my druthers, I'd rather drive a Toyota. Best vehicle I've ever owned was an 05 4Runner. Miss that thing. It would go everywhere.

Oh, that's interesting. I didn't realize it was still coming on during the initial startup. Definitely do those tests and let me know what happens.

Out of curiosity, what make and model is your truck? I haven't dabbled much with any vehicles newer than, like, 2017, so I suppose it's possible that they've changed the way the TPMS works.

My last vehicle was a 2010 Ford- TPMS worked fine; took the wheels off while the car was on jack stands in my driveway, and took them to my neighbor's shop (~1/4 mile away) to mount and balance new tires. My son started the car to mess with the stereo while I was gone, and the TPMS light came on. Even after I replaced the wheels, with the same transmitters, it refused to acknowledge them. The light stayed on until I junked the vehicle last year.

As far as I know, that doesn't happen. You typically have to program the TPMS monitoring system to search for certain transmitters.

Now, I'm just a somewhat skilled shadetree mechanic; I'm not claiming to be the source of all knowledge or anything, so I could be wrong.

If there aren't any other vehicles around and you haven't programmed the sensor, I'm gonna guess the light just stopped working.

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah but when the battery dies, the light on the dash stays on. It only turns off if it has a signal from the sensors that it's programmed to look for and they all read proper pressure.

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (12 children)

That does sound rather worrying. The good news is that those sensors only have a range of about 35ft tops, so it's more likely that one of your neighbors stole your wheel, put a new tire on it, and are now using it on their car.

Any similarly-wheeled vehicles nearby?

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I've gotten 2 votes for no and one for yes. That's good enough for me to give it a shot.

I do enjoy a bit of nin. That's sad to hear, though. I love Tron. I even liked the shitty second one.

 

Obviously the situation is fucked up, but my monkey brain disconnects from everything going on in the scene when I see this guy.
