The problem did start only after the sensors were replaced, but not immediately. When the tires were changed and new sensors put in, one sensor was transmitting zero pressure, with the tire at 35, the others seemed to be working OK. I ordered another sensor and while I was waiting for it and driving the car occasionally, the other 3 sensors changed to xxx on the DIC. They were reading normally immediately after installation. After the replacement sensor was put in the installer tried his scanner and magnet to "wake up" the sensors, but all I get now is xxx at each wheel and the service TPMS message when I start the car. The dealer tried his scanner, with no success.
I like Quicksilver's suggestion to try the learning process with the original, unmounted sensors. Should I put each sensor near a wheel on the car and do the magnet learn process or do I have to remove the wheels to get those sensors away from the car?
And Jistari - How did you know I've married for 30 years?

Just sit in the car with the old sensors on your lap, and begin the training process with them.
I programmed my new sensors that way (inside the car) before installing them in C6 wheels.

Thats easey.
You demonstrated that in spite of your observation of a condition in which logic as you understood it was not affecting the situation, you were content to put that aspect on the back burner for the moment and still work towards a solution.
You've obviously had practice at this

My 98 works most of the time and then stops working then shut it off and restart and is fine, can I get a used one out of something else like a truck or something and do you know what year might work, my friend owns a junk yard so I would like to try finding a used one first before spending more money. Thanks
