Default A different TPS question

Ok folks I finally need some help from the experts. The sensor on my left rear tire doesn't read on the dic. So, I got the directions for training from one of the forum threads, my 6x9 speaker magnet and got to work. I could never get the lt frt sensor to beep the horn, so now I don't know what to do next. If the sensor is reading ok does it not beep the horn? Can/should I go past the other 3 tires and directly to the lt rear? One other note, I've got chrome Z06 style wheels, so it's hard to get the big magnet anywhere near the base of the stem. Could that be the problem?
help please!!!

Ok, here is the deal. The receiver is in the driver side rear qtr panel.

Take each wheel, in order to the left rear qtr panel of the car and program it there (near the receiver)

Peace
Chip

I had a hard time training mine after putting aftermarket chrome Z06 wheels on too. I had to use a harddrive magnet (very powerfull) and hold it right behind the valve stem for up to 10 seconds sometimes. If you use the same method for all and one wont work, then its probably dead.
