Worked Perfect

Did exactly what you said to and worked without a hitch. Thanks so much

Would this also work for 2004 ?

On the 2004 just use a Scotchlok to join the pink/black wire to the white/black wire. I did it yesterday and it works great...no more dash light.

Thank you for that !

Im tired of the tpms light since I removed my spare Tire because the steel cable was rusted to its core.

It's not terribly expensive for a new tire hoist/carrier $134, it no longer has a cable that can rust and seize up or break, the new design has a chain.

I wouldn't want to not have a spare.

Yes I know it is an option but I dont like having the spare under there and I plan to buy a dual swing out rear bumper.

Plus I have 24/7 roadside assistance so I just take the spare with me when I go for trails.


Anyway thank you for letting me know !

I might be a little slow on this, but one option is to unpluf the harness from the box and just jump those 2 wires on the harness connector and NOT plug it back into the box? If that's the case, I'm guessing the box is just for the TPMS and nothing else?

I do not think one of the options was to leave the harness unplugged. Here is how i did the bypass.
