My Tire Sentry System does not indicate. It seems inoperative. I have looked at the display in the dash. Remove it and checked the power to it. There is 12 volts, but it seems inoperative. Does anyone know what is the components of the system. Does it have a transmitter or not. There is a small coax cable that was not connected to the connector on the device. I have sent 2 emails to the TSS website with no reply to get information or a drawing of the system.

The coaxial cable goes to the mid ship antenna. when was the last time you checked the sending unit batteries?

There was a loose coax cable in the wiring bundle in the front area, but not connected to the tire sentry display. After doing some research on Tire systems I concluded it might be a cable for that. When I took the shell off the display unit I could see a red led lit on an inner pc board, but the display is dead. In most systems I see for sale the transmitter is only needed when there is a long distance to a tire sensor. Where would the transmitter sending unit be located. I did connect the cable with no results. I did check and replace the wheel sender batteries.
My documents have manual on most other things, but none on the Tire Sentry System. I did find some information on it on a web blog. I might be interested in upgrading it, but since Tire Sentry Systems will not respond I would find another vendor for a system. Thanks
