    As long as the TPMS sees a fault the light will remain on. Unfortunately there is no way to shut the light off permanently. Then again
    you can always take the bulb out.   :stirpot:

    Just swap your sensors from your old wheels, you cant take the bulb out of the cluster.

    the best fix I know of for this is to build a small tube with a valve stem using plumbing PVC tube , throw in all 4 senosr & inflat to 40 psi & put it into the trunk

    yes it works , just take a piece of black or white plumbing pvc tube ,  ,drill a hole into the cap & install a valve stem , glue or thread the caps on both ends with the sensors inside , inflate to 40 psi , toss it into the trunk & forget about it !!
