TPMS Batteries

I have a 2000 Coupe that i bought new and one of the sensors is starting to flake out. Has anyone been successful replacing the batteries in these? $450 is a little hard to swallow for four new sensors.

It's been done. I'm planning to attempt to repair one of mine in the next week or two.

You can buy new ones for less than $150 for all 4.Alot easier than changing batteries and hoping you don't mess something up.

97-00 sensors are a lot more expensive than 01-04...
