Noxious had relatively new tires on her.
Moxie's were definitely in need of being replaced on the front, and all four TPMS sensors were dead.
So Marv and I swapped the wheels and tires from Moxie to Noxious and now Moxie has working TPMS again!
The battery for my sensor activator was mostly dead and the spare had the same expiration date, but I got lucky and got them programmed. Every car has a sweet spot for this tool and it's against the sidewall near the stem on these sensors.
We're going to swap anything that's better on Noxious to Moxie this weekend and the off to the "we buy any car!" place.
What tool do you and Marv use for TPMS resets? So far that is the only tool I do not have in my shop and have been thinking of getting one.
ReplyDeleteHope you get good $$ for the old car, last one I took to the scrapper had already been stripped of all useful stuff by me and I got about 120 bucks for the value of steel/iron still attached to the thing.
Considering I paid 100 for the actual vehicle (a no engine 1964 Mercedes Benz 220Sb) it was a bargain and I got all the carburetors, glass, hood, doors, trim, wheel rims and trunk lid off it before scrapping. ;-)
Noxious runs and drives. That makes her a little more valuable than $120, but we'd take it. An online place offered $850 after Harvey answered their questionnaire online. That will go a long ways to fixing Moxie's fuel pump disorder.
DeleteWe've been stripping parts already.
This is the relearn tool I have.
