Have you tried following the relearn process or are you 100% they're bad?

I bought new sensors for my 99 on Amazon, installed with my new tires.

c5arlen and I are on the same page on this one. Mine are original, 23 years old, 137,000 miles sensors. All 4 are still fine. I realize we might be in the minority. I can't believe they're still working, either. Maybe we should ship out our TPMS batteries to the Smithsonian when they go bad.
