Hawkeye O'Saben Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 those things are annoying. I would disconnect the whole system so it won't go off, but that's probably not the help you were looking for. What do the tire guys have to say about it?

If your Mustang had banded then you must replace with banded, or go with all unbanded once confirmed what you choose is compatible with your Mustangs ECM.

I think that might be the next thing to do really annoying Tyre guys don't know what to do apart from get another sensor, but all they will do is send me the same one !!!!!

When I replaced the sensor a year ago they sent me the new type and said it was compatible with the banded ones , we fitted it and it worked great Not sure why it stopped working when we changed the tyre I may have to purchase a set of four as you said and try that !

Ilmor, That is not a true statement, I had one band go bad on my 500 shortly after buying car. Put the 2010 valve stem on ONE tire and it is still working fine with the three banded styles.

Voodoo Child Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Uhmm ... are those sensors manufactured/distributed by the same companies? Have you contacted the manufacturer rep/distributor to get an answer/explanation? or if you have someone that speaks Chinese ...call Ford's tire dept.!!! (I am on a emoticon fasting restriction... otherwise, I would have included a "rolling on the floor laughing" emoji!!!) Happy Hump Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Hump Day! good point different manufacturers (countries) may not be compatible. It may have worked for Jim because of that..... why does it have to be so difficult.... I remember when getting a heater in the car was a huge selling item... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodger Posted April 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 This is the sensor that was working with the banded ones We replaced it with a new one This one will peep in my hand when training but will not peep in the wheel Really frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07gt500conv Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I ordered mine from American Muscle. Then when I put on the Alclonas, I ordered from American Muscle again and all went well. Maybe being a different manufacturer like Doogs said, could be the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
