"Tire Pressure Monitor Inoperative"
so i had this message come up tonight on the dash. with it is the yellow tire symbol illuminated on the right side. it blinks, sometimes it doesn't, but it's now always lit in some way.
all tire pressures are a-ok. car is an '09 C 63 with 2700 miles.
so, i can't reset it. it doesn't allow me to do it from the dash because it says it's inoperative. which leads me to believe it's not a sensor, but it's the receiver in the car. i'd like to hard reset it by pulling the fuse (actually i'd like to check the fuse first) but I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIND OUT WHAT FUSE IS FOR THE TPMS SYSTEM!
where the heck are the fuse diagrams for all the fuse blocks??? i looked in all the books, i looked in the spare tire equipment...nothing.

here you go. the thread from elsewhere is in the second post. edit time limit expired so i couldn't edit the first post of this thread with the resolution.

Update: the fix worked. Apparently there is a ground issue where it invites interference which makes the control module freak out. They moved the ground, as well as shortened it.
