You'll need to be a little more specific about what time of day it is Sparky... ;)

I am tired of it already. I think you should nuke the redundant threads and just send PM links to the search box...

knowing how to use search tools should be a mandatory membership prerequisite too (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j180/stevewfl/kneedragvl3.gif)

That's no way to treat the new guy.

why not "merge" all those common threads? Jim?
-
I'm not going to 'merge' them as such but I try to move mostly dead threads (little or no activity) that have a wealth of information into the C14 Wiki area... Problem is I need to get time to do it as it's somewhat of a manual process. Using search helps some but we don't use the same terms for what we talk about. That plays heck with the search engine (digital and human).

Indeed. Searching can be frustrating for any number of reasons. Terminology is the primary cause of failure- when people use different words for the same thing. I can very much appreciate when people can't find something and try to help (on several forums). What I don't appreciate is when people never even try to search and, instead, just start a new thread on a topic that has been discussed over and over. Those not only waste time, they create a lot "noise" when searching.
I found it especially irritating when the settings in this forum used to actually COMPLAIN when you tried to post to a thread not even a year old- encouraging the user to create yet another thread/topic. Thankfully it has been adjusted to be a year:
"Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 365 days.
Unless you're sure you want to reply, please consider starting a new topic. "
Of course there are cases where a new topic/thread is indicated, but it generally better to pull back existing stuff so there is continuity. (Yet there can be a lot of noise in threads too that make it hard to perform research... even this post is noise, since it is not related to "tire monitors").

could change the post title to 'tire THREAD monitors' ;)
-
Just delete them before they even get rolling, no more need for them other than to bitch.

does any one know if these tps battreies have a shelf life. just had one replaced with a 09 date on the box and worked for about an hour

Kawi says 5 years max. Why didn't you get a newer monitor?
-
Thats the only one they had at the time. they are going to replace it again under warranty.

See if they'll let you keep the bad one. Replace the battery and keep it for a spare.

Keep up the good work Robin! :)

Aye aye guv'nr.

This is a spare that would require the ECU to be reprogrammed in order to use. Much easier to replace the batteries in the TPMs that the system already recognises.

Would you have to reprogram? And if you did it will be cheaper than replacing the sensor out of pocket after warranty.
