SS Wrapped Valve Extenders: Can't add air!

[Gatorjim]

I have SS wrapped valve extenders on my inside dually tires. The PS will not accept air from my compressor while the DS will? TPMS sensors deliver readings for both inside dually tires??? I have a Viair 450RV compressor (which works great by the way) which came with a rigid 45 degree angled chuck and a 90 degree twist on chuck. Neither chuck puts air thru PS valve stem? I prefer and use the twist on chuck for all of the other tires. Works great on 5 of 6 tires.
Why does the TPMS sensor read air pressure but twist on chuck will not put air in tire?? Any experience and wisdom would be greatly appreciated!!

If you have flow-thru TPMS sensors, temporarily remove that one on the wheel not accepting air, and install one from a different wheel, then try adding air. It it works you found the problem. If there is not change;

Check the valve cores, one is in the valve stem, the other in the flexible extender. Use caution if you remove the core in the valve stem, it's under high pressure and can put out an eye or puncture skin.

Follow up to SS wrapped valve extenders: I took her to a commercial tire shop (McGee Commercial Tire & Services - Good folks. I would go there again for tire work). The core of the extension was bad. No explanation as to why TPMS sensor worked?!? I replaced both with rigid extenders($72 parts and labor). Manager tells me that your lucky to get 2 years our flexible extenders before the leak or fail.
