NAPA TPS Compatable?
NAPA's got em for my '99 and I've got one dead one. Does anyone know if they would be compatible with the other GM Tire Sensors already on the car?

There is a post on here about replacing the batteries in the sensors. Seems like the best way to go.

If NAPA lists them as the correct pn for your vette, I would have to assume they're compatable...

Easy way to check is to buy one and try to learn it to your car, using a magnet. This can be done without actually installing the sensor. If it works fine. If not take it back.

If NAPA's part numbers all line up and they have them and they "DON"T" work then they will need to take them back when you return them.
Just make sure that their catalog is specific and it states your year Vette
Thanks,Matt

That's what I would think because each sensor works separate from the others!

just looked them up on napa's web site. they look exactly like the gm sensors but are blue. they list for $106.90 so not no savings over a gm sensor....

I always ask the guys at my NAPA store for a discount. I usually get 10 to 20% off. Also ask for a discount at your dealer.

And for military guys, ALWAYS ask for the "military discount."
