Been getting a "Tire Monitor Fault" message about once a day for a year and a half. Got new tires yesterday and I had been pecking away at buying new tire pressure monitors at NAPA for $50 each. Ford dealer wanted $300. The OE monitors are attached with a band around the middle of the rim and the NAPA units are under a metal valve stem. NAPA double and triple checks the part number because they're my buds and they know I'm picky. New tires go on and first I had a "Low Tire Pressure" warning. Tire shop says drive it about 30 miles and it should go away. Got about that much on and now it's back to "Tire Monitor Fault" which may or may not be an improvement. Anybody else have experience with this problem? Disconnect the battery for a while maybe? Trying to avoid getting hosed at the Ford dealer. Thanks. :haveabeer:
