One of the four sensors installed on the trailer from the Ford Trailer Camera and Tire Pressure Monitoring System {TPMS) Kit has failed. According to PartsID the battery cannot be changed in the sensor. Anyone know if that's not true? If the battery can be changed, how?
Second, there's an aftermarket substitute (ACDelco part # TPMS173K) that is much less expensive than the OEM Ford part. https://www.carid.com/acdelco/profes...eid=1131563964
Note my truck is a 2017 so if yours is a different year verify, verify, verify!
It's a nuisance that I'll have to have the tire removed from the wheel to get this fixed. I wonder if there are any screw-on sensors that will work with the Ford module (instead of using the internal sensors). I'll have to do some researching and even (gasp!) get on a Ford forum to get an answer to that question (unless someone here knows!).
