Tire pressure indicator light
I had a flat a couple of weeks ago and changed to the spare tire. The light came on and stayed on the entire time the spare was on the vehicle. Should have checked the tire pressure on the spare but did not.
The flat needed to be replaced and that took several days to get the new tire, mounted, etc. Now the matching tire is back on the vehicle.
The light went off when my husband replaced the tire, so we thought all was well. It stayed off for several days.
The light is now back on again. We've checked tire pressures on all 5 tires (4 on the vehicle plus the spare). All very close to 30 psi.
Any ideas on what could be wrong? Only other thing I can think of is to stop by the tire store -
Thanks.

Ooooooooooo, ok. My Bad. I read that wrong. I thought you were putting 38lbs. in your tires all around.

I would believe that - subject to the connection with your TMPS system - any reputable tire dealer's place can install them. Give them a call (?) or maybe speak to the people at tirerack.com?

In 2004's the spare has no impact since the pressure is approximated via a sensor on the wheel/rpm.
