Does any lights come on if I don't have TPMS in my new rims?

    Yes of course. Why would they come with sensors if they didn't do anything.

    I pulled the TPMS years ago. Doesn’t cause any issues except the tire pressure light is always on.

    Put a piece of black tape over the tire light symbol.

    The yellow tire pressure light in the gauge cluster will flash then illuminate solid when the truck is on. I sold my OEM wheels and tires the day after I took the truck home, so the light has been doing that for the past two and half years. I usually idle for 30 sec after engine start in the morning and use the flashing tire pressure light as a timing reference...

    The light will stay on because there is a “failure” in the system. Does your state do a safety inspection? If it does they will check for a working light when the ignition is on then make sure it goes off to show it’s running fine. Remember this system was brought to you by the government, Ford, and Firestone in response to low tire pressure on Ford Explorers. Now we all have to have it.

    I run winters without TPMS for 6 months a year, warning flashes and then stays on 30 minutes into a drive. Once it's parked in the driveway (tpms tires are in the garage) it goes away. I can go most of the winter commuting without it coming on- road trips it's on though..
