'14 TPMS Module Malfunction
Hey guys,
So here is my issue. I have aftermarket Rims and Tires on my '14. I have the stock TPMS sensors put onto the new tires, and this set up worked great for nearly 2 years! but over Christmas break I did not use the truck, and i froze the battery. From there I was having battery issues where it would die in 48 hours if the truck was not run. I replaced the battery only to find the truck was still dying. this is when i noticed that the TPMS sensor light would come on and blink after about 30-45 min of constant driving. I've taken it to a specialty shop to figure out what is going on, and it turns out that my TPMS module is pooched and has a huge drain on my battery. Does anyone know if this has happend before? is this a common issue? what would cause this module to just "go"? I'm really not super pumped because I just found out that the extended warranty that i purchased does not include ANY PART OF THE TPMS system. I understand sensors and whatnot, but the module too.
My only other fix at the current time is to pull the fuse so that the drain goes away, with the downfall that the TPMS module is also used for the key-less entry and remote door locks. whatever. Anyway, does anybody know which fuse this would be? I have looked at all the schematic's in the owners manual and online to try to locate the correct fuse, but I have been unable to do so. any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
