    Ford must really hate this video 😂 . 8 years and you have saved so many people from spending hard earned dollars .BIG thank you , worked for my 2016 F150
  • 7 years after the upload and this video is still helpful unplugged my phone charger which I bought from at&t and it went away in less than a quarter mile thanks so much for this info
  • You are my absolute hero! Had the same situation with a crappy cell phone charger. This video saved me hundreds of dollars misspent on getting something replaced/repaired that was not broken. Thank you!!!

    HOLY CRAP!! Thank you sooo much!! My sensor came on today, so I took it to Big O for some air, and was going to just wait til I could afford to take it back for repair. But then I decided to do a little research, and came across your video. I immediately took out my charger, and VOILA! The sensor fault light went out! You saved me $$$$$, and for that I'm totally grateful!!.
  • Seriously!!! Thank you so much for this!!!! I didn’t believe you and as soon as I unplugged the cigarette lighter charger (while I was driving) the alert on my dash disappeared! I cannot thank you enough for posting this! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

    I am so glad this video has stayed here. This explains why the light only sometimes comes on, and only after I've been driving for 20+ minutes. THANK YOU!!!! I will be trying no charger today.

    I just wanted to thank you for this video! My tire pressure sensor fault light came on and after listening to you talk about cheap chargers I realize that I had recently purchased one and it was about the time that my light came on. I remove the charger and within one minute the light went off and now I'm having no trouble. I want to thank you for saving me a lot of money and this video you made is excellent!
  • I never comment on anything but I jumped out of bed to try this one before going to work and I was floored. Unbelievable. Thank you man!

    I just had my sensor fault come on for the first time. I immediately googled it, found this video and decided to unplug my charger.not even 5 mins later and my sensor is off! You're the man! Thank you for sharing!
  • Nailed it! Took the crappy charger out and sure enough the fault message disappeared! Thank you! We were stressing as we head out on a 3 State camping trip with our camper in tow.

    You are my hero! My wife added a FM stereo / Bluetooth module to her 2004 Expedition. That day we lost the keyless entry and the TPMS. Did not think of them as the same issue but within 10 seconds of you saying they broadcast a signal it hit me like a ton of bricks. I paused the video and fired up the rig and pulled the FM/BT module and presto all was right in the world. Thanks for getting this out there keep it up!

    I was on a road trip yesterday and about half way through started getting the tpms fault message on the dashboard of my 2012 Escape. Didn't even think about it till watching this video, but at the rest stop just before it started I had bought a cheap phone charger! After watching this video I went out, pitched the charger and drove around the block -- no error! Good stuff!!

    A week before I had the snow tires put on, I noticed the message on the dash of my 2010 Mustang. I mentioned it when I took it to the dealer. The mechanic swapping the tires said there was no problem he could detect. This video explains why. Thanks for posting this video. Super job.

    I thought this was absurd when I first watched it... I couldn't have been more wrong, and my cheapy item was a cigarette lighter to double usb charging station. Had just put some new aftermarket wheels on my F150 and only knew that they had sensors in them but just figured they were the wrong ones after several failed attempts to train them. Was going to shell out almost $200 for new sensors and installation soon and just happened upon this video. Although it could be many things as Makuloco says, give this tip a try, it saved me so much just in time alone. Got in my truck and unplugged the usb charger as I joked to my wife what this bafoon on YouTube said could be the problem....waited for the flashing light and information panel to indicate sensor failure as I would see every day.... We were driving down the road laughing and the sensor failure never happened again. Guess I'm the bafoon this time :-) Thank you FordTechMakuloco.

    This 100% worked for me and my ford fusion. Thank you so much for posting this and it being an easy fix!

    I have a 2010 f150. This fault came on, I had stopped at a gas station to get something to drink, and decided to look up this issue. In the 15 minutes it took to get to my house after unplugging my phone from the charger, the fault went away. You sir are a life saver.
  • I took your advice and unplugged my daughters aux cable. A couple of start/stop cycles and it’s fixed. Probably reset itself, just like you said. I’ve watched a few of your videos and really appreciate you sharing your wisdom to us!!!
  • I 'd like to thank you very much for your adorable tip. You've fixed the biggest problem we had so far with our Acura TSX. We've got all the lights on in the middle of the highway, and we were very scarred. We didn't know what to do, and there was a long way home. After we got home, but couldn't fix it any way. All specialists recommended us to change all the sensors, which was kind of expensive. Everything became well after we removed the phone charger. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    This is an amazing video!! He explained everything so well!! I literally just watched a different person that had the same title and he didnt explain at all why it happened or the cause of it. This guy did an amazing job at explaining it. Thank you so much.
