I originally bought some good ones for my snows, said OEM Ford were made in USA. I Installed them and they worked automatically,. No reset or reconfigure.

I needed a set for my Cal route 1 wheels. These were listed as OEM Ford and the only hint that the were not was “manufacturer” Geartronic. Everything else, Picts looked like Ford Etc. When I got them in The generic Chinese box and all Chinese lettering on the sensors, I should have known better. But I had them mounted anyway. Well, they do not work. Nothing, they seemed to read for 1 day and then “ tire pressure motoring failure”. I tried the relearn procedure and it timed out 3 times. I will order name brand from now on…..these are the same part number I previously bought…

So don’t buy cheap crap on eBay. Got it.
But seriously, thanks for the warning for people who may not have it figured out yet.
