There's no button in my glove box.


I guess I have a bad sensor because this morning the TPMS light up (not flashing) in the cluster yet all 5 tires are at 38 PSI. I was cleaning up my garage yesterday and didn't pull the GX back in last night. It figures the one time I don't park in my garage something happens to it.


EDIT:
It was hard to read the pressure gauge and mess w/ the flashlight w/ the spare tucked underneath so today I lowered it and sure enough it was low. I put more air in it and the light went off.

I don't know why people hate the TPMS so much? How often do most of us check our spare tires air pressure?

The glovebox? I heard that Ron Burgundy says the new Durango glovebox can comfortably hold two turkey sandwiches, and has inches of room. But I don't have a button in my glovebox. '06

My switch was in the same spot, bottom of the dash below the steering wheel, near my right knee.
