    Can I replace my tire sensors with regular scharder valves? I'm clueless about this and just need a little help. Thanks

    Read a guy that removed them, put them in a plastic bag and placed the bag in his glovebox. I assume the dash light would still be on though.

    Thank you guys for the quick response. I new that I would have to deal with the dash light. Just didn't know about the hole where the sensons go In the rim versus regular scharder valves hole. I guess they are the same size.
    thanks so much.

    I thought about remind tn the light. But, the link I posted was way easier than taking the cluster apart to get to the light. Also give you the option of easily reversing the process of you ever decide to put sensors back in.

    Links up. In post #5. Really simple takes longer to get the bolts out for the radio that to do the mod.
