Bought tires and wheels for the 2 door 2020 JL Rubicon. Bought some TPMS sensors from Amazon (433Mhz) and installed one myself with the tire and took the other 4 into a tire shop to have them mounted. All 4 of the ones that the tire shop mounted work but the one I mounted does not read on the display. It is the drivers rear. Got a replacement set of sensors from Amazon and replaced the faulty one. It is doing the same thing and giving no reading on that sensor but the others work. Am I forgetting something during the install? Do I need to install the battery?

I don't know how far you've gotten here, but have you seen these?

I see that you've linked to a recent post of mine. I was wrong and apparently the wheel sensors do in fact have their own battery power source.

Back during my HVAC-R training, a professor was explaining how certain components translate pressure readings into electrical signals to be read by the systems motherboard. Someone asked if that was how wheel sensors worked and the professor confirmed. I never looked into them myself until someone else corrected me in that same thread.

Apologies for posting misinformation.
