What's this tire sensor thingy worth?
A couple of years ago I bought a pair of used track tires and wheels already mounted. Yesterday I broke them down and one of them has the tire pressure sensor strapped to the inside of the wheel. Is it worth enough to sell to someone who might need it?

Just put new tires on the CE
the right front sensor was broken (cracked)
I though it might be OK for awhile.
it didn't last but a few weeks then came off flooping around inside the tire.
It cost $340 to have it replaced. I called the dealer and it was priced at over $300 just to buy it.
Before it broke, the low tire light was on, after it broke the 'LTPSW service soon' light came on, after it was replaced the low tire light still comes on.

not just any sensor will work on any car #s have to match up!

"Factory position-RR" (makes sense since it came off of a RR sawblade)
"GM P/N 10161857"
"Epic P/N 1000 5001"
It's even got a serial# for chrissakes.... I'm not going to post that. If it's stolen, I didn't do it!
Now, is there any way to tell if it's any good? No, my car doesn't have this option.

I need this part - don't expect you still have it?
I see now. It's amazing what you can find out if you read the label....

Bulbs are behind the panel. Unplug the LTPWS
The bulbs are behind the panel.If you take the fuse out you loose your cruise control to. The LTPWS Module is under the dash. I am going to try and just unplug mine from the harness. If it works I will find the hot lead and put a switch in.
I have a spare tire.
