How to Disable TPMS light?
Switched to aftermarket wheels, don't feel like buying a set of TMPS. The light on the dash doesn't bother me too much, but if it's possible to disable it without going to the dealership then I'd rather have it off.
I looked in the owner's manual and there's a diagram that says the TMPS set button (which I assume can be used to disable the light too) is located in the bottom-ish right corner of the glove box. I can't find one in my TC2 though. Am I supposed to take the glove box apart to access it or something?

Hahaha... A+ for creativity with the TPMS bomb!
But I agree with Batman. We're talking about what is the least redneck/ghetto fabulous option. There is no eliminating it altogether without adding the TPMS back in. I'd say pull the LED. Should be a 10 minute mod.

If it isn't soldered on...

Lol in all honesty the TPMS bomb is pretty clever.
If this was my car I would go back to the place that did the wheels and pitch a fit that they didn't tranfer the sensors.
If you don't think they'll fix it for you then the electric tape method really isn't that bad and it's less permanent than desoldering the led. Dont but the tape on top of the light but rather behind it. Remove the gauge face and cover the shine through section for the TPMS light with electrical tape and then you wont have to see the ugly light.
Then if youre ever getting new tires and can have the sensors properly put back in the wheels, you can just remove the piece if tape.
