I took my cluster out and put a square of electrical tape over mine. Can't even tell it's there.

if the alert is off you have a fault in one of the Tire pressure monitors. you either have a tire with low air or you have a malfunctioning sensor. if you just had new wheels and or tires put on and the sensor is now coming on i would go back to the shop and tell them. they should fix it since theyre the last people to touch it. they arent cheap $125 or more i think.

TPMS are useless, an annoyance and pricey to fix. unfortunately since 2008 it is mandatory for every vehicle to be equiped with them.

Yeah I got new tires and I didn't get the sensors because they were like 125 a piece n like you said pointless but i thought it would just be a light that came on but it beeps and goes on my display screen. There a way to do it by putting all the old sensors in the the spare tire but I took my spare off n

No you can't !! The only thing you can do is tape over the light in the cluster like mentioned or make a TPMS bomb...you should of had the old sensor's swapped from your old wheels...all you needed was new bands.
