Default TPMS issue

Recently got new wheels on the car with 4 TPMS sensors. Ive programmed the old sensors before so Im familiar with the procedure. Cant get the horn to chirp on the LF wheel when starting the programming. Pressures show "_____". Any ideas?

-Sensors are rebuilts for a 97 (Car is a 97)

I ended up doing a "fob training" and was able to get them all to chirp aside from the LR. After trying for an hour, I did a fob training again and now cant get the the two front tires to chirp. What gives?

I had new TPMSs installed when I had new tires mounted. I drove home & programmed them with no problem. A couple of months later they quit working. I tried to reset them & had all reset except the right rear. I have attempted to reset them a half dozen times & still the same results,right rear will not reset. I order a new one. It should be here this week. I blame it on Gremlins.lol
