How to hard reset TPMS sensor
I replaced the sensors with Orange sensors - only $120 + shipping, directly fromt he company.
Took it to tire shop to replace and rebalance tires ($85).
But couldn't get it to work, until....
1) try to reset via the instruments panel - if it doesn't work, then you have to do a hard reset - go to step 2
2) open rear fusebox. It's below right side, rear seat. right on the bench itself, there's a small light. remove this plastic. Remmber it's the right side, not the left side (it's not behind the driver, but rather behind the front passanger).
3) you need to remove and put back fuse #70, but you can't see the numbers there - so look at the most top left fuses - there are a vertical few fuses- count fifth (5) vetical fuse from the left- remove for a two minutes and put back.
4) this will reset the TPMS computer and that's it. now you can go back again to the instruments panel reset.

Good to know. Thanks for posting as this will surely help others in the future. Pics of the fuse box may have been helpful but it shouldn't be too hard for others to find the fuse schematics if they try hard enough. Thanks again,
