Auto Scanner: Tire pressure light keeps going off, on - Gloucester Daily Times
You help a lot of people, and now I hope you can help me with my problem. The TPM light is intermittently going on. I have checked the tire pressure numerous times, and the tire pressures are right where they have to be. Can you offer any suggestions as to how I handle this kind of a problem. First thing I want you to understand is the purpose of the tire pressure monitor system. This system will illuminate the warning light when the tire pressure in any single tire drops to less than 80 percent of the desired pressure. It’s not such a bad thing, because it keeps you from getting poor fuel mileage and also wearing out your tires. Let’s not forget also that the handling of your car declines with low tire pressure. Q: I love my 2005 Ford 500 Limited AWD with 3. 0 engine. I recently noticed the heated seats work fine and then don’t work at all for a period of time, then work again. Example: Driver’s side will work but not the passenger side. The problem is intermittent but mostly negative, and more often they don’t work. Any idea what the cost would be. A: I appreciate you’re on a fixed income, and I admire your willingness to try to repair the problem. My recommendation would be for you to read it and understand the system, but leave this repair.
