DIY - Bypassing Tire Pressure Warning System (TPWS / TPMS)

[ricktoyota73]

Ok, so on a new project, I should use 130 ohm resistors, correct?
I have a bunch of 20 guage wire. Is that ok to use?
CTScott...how did you figure this shit out?
I have been working in the parts department of car dealers for the last 10 years and, from the things I've seen over the years, you never want to cut the factory wire harness. I will definitely leave enough wire where I can reconnect the SOB, but it still scares the crap out of me. It will be worth it to get rid of the cursed light, though.

110 to 150 ohm resistors will work - Just make sure they are 1/2 Watt.

Cutting into factory harnesses can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. I design more complex systems for a living, so I enjoy reverse engineering automotive systems.

I sell auto parts and I honestly don't understand how half of this stuff works!
Thanks for the info. Hooking it up as soon as we get a weekend above freezing and I can stand to be out in the garage for a while.
