Default TPMS Gremlin SOS

I recently started intermittently losing signal from my LR TPMS. So I pulled all of them out and replaced the batteries. Soldered connections and re-epoxyed. Worked fine for about a week, then started doing the same thing again. Now it spends more time in LR xxx than it does giving me a reading. Car is a 97. Suggestions??

You did not soldier them correctly is what it sounds like OR you did not use the correct epoxy (that does not conduct electrictly) and shorted out the batteries/sensors over time.
