    Default Replacing ONE Dead Fobo?

    One of my three FOBO sensors (rear tire) is apparently dead. I changed the battery on it, but it still won't communicate with my iPad any more.

    Does anyone know if it's possible to get just ONE replacement sensor somewhere? The other two are working fine.

    Thanks!

    Call Lamonster Garage tomorrow. They can sell you a single sensor.

    Newbert, are you SURE it’s dead? When you change a battery, it is very easy to lift the contacts when you are taking the battery out, so when the new battery goes in, it is not touching the contacts. If you press down gently on the contacts while the battery is out, it might just be enough to get it going again (I do this each time I change a battery, along with a Disable/Install)

    This. And try putting on a vehilce that runs higher pressure for about 5-10mins and it should "come alive". I had to do this once after changing a battery...
