Still a firm believer in using the tire pressure gauge, it's just a toy that keeps on entertaining!

Which one did you go for?

I removed the alarm module last Friday. Today, got a buddy with an oscillating Dremel blade to slice it open. Sad to see all of the corrosion and/or burnt stuff on the circuit board - top and bottom - from the leaky batteries. I'm not going to try to clean it and replace the batteries. But, I'm very glad I've got it removed from my Crossfire's electrical circuits.

Here are my photos to document it:

Search Ebay for a Solar TPMS Tire Pressure System W/ 4 Sensors, it cost me ONLY $21.49 with FREE shipping (adding $1.72 SC sales tax). Total price $23.21 delivered (brand new). What a price! They already sold out but if you keep looking you can find them all over BUT this was the lowest price. Make sure the one you get is degrees C/F & US/Metric bar/psi. Good luck!

Took the opportunity today to change the blower motor resistor (ordered from autohausAZ) and install a new cabin air filter. Cabin air filter was a DriveWorks brand that I bought from Advance Auto several years ago when the local store advertised inventory to be sold off. I bought 2 or 3 at the time and paid only $0.45 for each filter element.

But I learned something new during this service - I don't quite bend like I used to! Gonna be sore tomorrow in my lower back!

Just wait until you get to my age, last summer I had the interior filter and the heater resistor out and replaced them, I did not think I would be able to get out.

I know what you mean! Once you get into that space to be able to see what to do, it takes some effort to get back out!

I recall climbing in the trunk to see and work on a few things (antenna) and wished I hadn't.
I kinked myself in there pretty good... the footwell has its disadvantages but thank heaven I put a power rack on passenger side seat as it gives slightly more room than before.
Happy new years no matter the awkward situation!

Damn! You got your money's worth out of that tire didn't you? I don't think it has even a single "roll" left in it! 😉

Those wheels really make the car pop,, I didn't know my wheels looked so good until i saw them on your car.

A week or so ago i put my car on jack stands changed the oil,, I though i was getting older just didn't want to admit it,,, but when i had the oil into the waist container and went to crawl out, i had to call a mechanic LOL

Love that plate! "SLK ISH" That's classic! I'd go nuts trying to keep those wheels clean though. As long as I'm drivin' a Matchbox car I may as well keep the orig. Matchbox wheels.

Took time to treat the leather seating surfaces & steering wheel in my 2007 Coupe today. I try to do this every 6 months or so to keep the leather in "factory fresh" condition. So far, so good!
