What year is your car? What year does the Schrader replace? That would be a starting point. 01-04 sensors are different from prior sensors.

Went to Discount Tire....they used their round magnet....it worked! all set, my angle type welding magnet apparently wasn't strong enough, yes it worked on 3 out of 4 sensors but the new Schrader needed that one Discount used, also they did it for free! Thanks Discount Tire! Fred
