Installing Schrader TPMS
Bought these Schrader 28006 TPMS’s from rockauto for my 98 (TPMS link ). Tire shop said he couldn’t get them to register, so he never installed them. Said he tried the magnet and his scanner? Didn’t go back to ‘98. Can you learn them to the car without putting them on? I read an older post where people said rockauto sometimes sold old stock and the batteries may be dead. The box date says 9/13/2019 so I’m assuming they are good. I did a replacement through their website before seeing the date code on the box, so I have 4 more coming.

It's highly unlikely all 4 are bad. Are you the original owner? was the TPS system updated to the newer version?
I bought the same for my 99 and installed them myself and programmed them with the donut magnet, no issues.

I have multiple sets of wheels so that requires reprogramming every time they're changed. I have to spin the tire to wake the sensor before using the magnet. It won't work for me using the magnet alone after the car has been sitting still.

I have not. They don’t give me a display every time I get in the car. If they did, they would be in the list. That service message drives me nuts 😂😂
I went to Lowe’s this morning and bought a nice doughnut magnet and will try to program them myself. Maybe I’ll have better luck than the tires shop

As you may know, some people have upgraded their 97-00 systems to the 01-04. Did you make sure that your new TPMS sensors are the same type as the old ones they were intended to replace?

What type are your FOBs, the old ones or the new ones?

It seems you're up for some troubleshooting: neither the FOB nor the TPMS work... the common denominator would be the RFA module. Do you have any error code related to this system? I suggest you should begin there.
The RFA module (AKA: RCDLR) receive power through Fuse 27. It would be good to test it:
