TPMS sensor question

[Five0GT]

Just got 2 new rear tires put on by Mavis. One of the tires had a slow leak so I took it back and they tell me it's the valve stem. Also tell me I need a new sensor which is $65. They put the new sensor on and the leaks gone but my car won't read the sensor. Says 0psi on my dash. Bring it back and they tell me I need a sensor from ford. For said $100 for a new sensor installed. Can I get this online somewhere?

What sensor did they put in? Maybe it just needs to be programmed. Not all sensors are easy and auto-learn. As for another one: http://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...)+sensor,12036?a=Referer+www.google.com+URL+/

Not sure what they put in. They tried programming it and it didn't work.

I'd get them to refund you then seeing as they put in the wrong part.

come on man, did you put up a fight with them for installing a non working part?

They said they'd refund me as long as they get the sensor back. But I want to take the tire off once get them back there sensor and out the right one on. Where can I get the correct sensor?

Ford parts has them for $38. Now would Mavis be able to program it? Or does it even need programming?

You don't need a programmer for 15-16's just drive 20 or so miles.

Levittown Ford has the absolute cheapest Ford TMPS sensors online ($24 IIRC), but shipping from them is like $15.
