The absolute BEST Xterra self-help videos are on YOUR channel.. Great Job (as always)…. 🇺🇸

Most underrated KZfaq mechanic gives me chrisfix vibes to the T we need to blow him up on KZfaq

I've watched quite a few of your vids and I have to say you've saved me alot of time and A LOT of money being able to do things myself. Thank yoiy for what you do!!!

Thanks as always for your help! I just did the black tape trick on mine and it worked like a charm. Of course I reprogrammed my clock and radio before remembering I'll need to unhook the battery and drive back and forth a couple times to clear the VDC/Slip lights, but no big deal.

Thank you for the great videos. I wish you success on expanding your channel and on the new second channel. Congrats on your new move too, I like the new shop!

That’s a good idea ..Thanks Ry for all your videos help a lot

Good idea! TPMS light has been on since I bought my 07 5 years ago. I remember pulling the bulb out of my old 89 Honda CRX but figured it wouldn’t be that easy for newer cars. But covering it up works too!

That’s just fabulous! Thank you.

Super I did this before on a 4Runner you were so very helpful and such a time saver Thank You!

Thanks for the tip I think I'll try this this summer on my wife's 2015 Toyota Camry

Nissan Cube: Thanks! Tried everything, the pvc pipe trick didn't work and they don't make tpms emulators for Nissan yet, this worked perfect.

I have planned to do this for a while on my 2006 X. Will do soon.

LED lights do not emit heat, therefore you could cover the bulb with any kind of putty or black silicone. Otherwise, excellent video, clear, to the point and very useful. Bravo.

So thankful bro!!!!!

I need to do this lol! Mine has been on for 6 years haha!

Thanks!

Hi thank you for the information. Can you turn off the alarm system in a 08 X terra?

Excellent!

Good stuff as usual!

oh tell me about it.. that light was driving me crazy ever since I got my truck.. I tried to reset it many times.. just to learn later on that I dont have TPMS sensors inside lol but call me stubborn or something I just went and installed TPMS sensors myself and programed them.. so far its been good

works great on the check engine light too

I got my 2006 xterra s used. It never had the TPMS light and no sensors in the rims. Wondering if someone did this to mine or if it just didn't have it from the factory?

Is there a way to keep the lights of the cluster ON all the time even if the park light is OFF?

Thankkk youuuu

The TPMS light on my 2012 X started lighting up intermittently recently. Now I finally know what the problem is. Never realized that the TPMS sensors have batteries that eventually run out.

I swear I have the most finicky TPMS. I'm going to do this and take the opportunity to replace the broken trip stick and replace the gauge face with white ones I picked up from a junked pro4x. Great video Ry!!

Do you have a video on how to diagnose the vdc abs slip light? I have an 08 Xterra off-road. Any input would be great!

😂😂😂 2/3 the way in the video and I noticed the black role. Perfect.

On some vehicles this effects fuel economy and ABS traction control.

great idea. tape. following the KISS rule

Ry, do you know if the TPMS system is involved in traction control at all? If the car uses it to sense wheel speed and activate traction control, I would rather replace the batteries/sensors than replace the light since I would want to have fully functional traction control/VDC. Hoping to avoid paying a lot to have them replaced next time I get my tires rotated and balanced.

Ry. Link to the grille emblem you are using? Great vids!

You have a recommendation for tool to diagnose air bag light? Idk which one is bad. And really can't afford dealer right now

I just did this today bit unfortunately I didn't see that the black layer lifted off of the cluster so I can see the tape from the outside now. I don't really mind, but if I ever have the cluster out again I'll swap it to the stealth mode location.

Hi Ry! I had a question, is it possible to install LED headlights and fog lights instead of the factory ones on Xterra?

Question what color are the lights I am so tired of the amber color and trying to figure a way to change the color and while doing this seems like the perfect time to do it.

My Xterra is a 2012 PRO-4X and it has the light but it also flashes "Check" "Tire" "Pressure" in the LCD area where the odometer is. I think it was on the odometer side, it might have been on the RPM side. I just got my Xterra and it had a low tire so the light and flashing text was on. Aired it up & drove it for 10 mins and they both went away. But I am considering doing a 2" lift and larger tires that would aired down when off roading. Or maybe even run at a lower pressure than the stock tires all the time. Covering the light up is a good solution for the light, but what about the blinking text in the LCD area? Any clue how it can be just completely disabled? I notice that your cluster only has one LCD area at the Odometer but the 2012 also has an LCD on the RPM gauge side that shows the 4WD/4WDLow/2WD indicator. I am OCD and blinking lights or warning lights or in this case flashing text would drive me completely crazy LOL It is crazy that they do not give you a way to disable this system in the event of a tire size change out.

Do you know if the LED lights in the "motherboard" are that orange tint themselves or is there a film? I've never been a big fan of the orange lights on there and if I end up going through this whole process to get the sensor light to go away, I would like to see if I could take off the orange tint to maybe just a white color.

Not sure about your 05, but on my '11 not only will I get a light but I'll also get a warning message in the odometer area. So in my case, I have to replace the TPMS sensors.

I was going to do this a few years ago but I was afraid of removing the instrument cluster for fear of not having it working on reinstallation. I had the tpms sensors replaced when I needed new tires at Walmart. It was very reasonable. Now I am dealing with a persistent P0442 small evap leak code every few days. Tell me how to disable that system as I have gone the route of new gas cap, evap solenoid. I currently have the canister exposed (getting at it is a real joy). Looking for leaks at o rings on the canister.

Haha.. yeah, just did this last week for a flashing air bag light and check engine light. Filled it in with black silicone

I need to do that for my check engine light hahaha

Nicely done but I am too lazy to do all that just to tape it off. I would use a circular sticker right on the outside of the clear plastic instrument cover. Either a black circle cut from electrical tape, a Captain America sticker, or an artistic id.

I have attempted to turn all the lights white before and there's actually a reset you can do to reset the entire board as long as all the dials sit on factory positions.

I wish I could do this for my Mother In-Laws PMS light 🤦🏼‍♂️

I just covered the annoying lights with my son passport picture, gone gone!

Removing the bulb! Lol

It’s part of the design on mine now 😅

I SEE THE DEM ROBOTS ARE WHINING AGAIN BUT I LOVE HOW DID THIS

Oh gosh, well I don't know that I will be doing this one after all.

What did people ever do before TPMS warning lights to tell them their tires are low ?? Maybe actually look at their tires once in a while ! Maybe do a 5 second quick safety walk around their car every day before they drive it and actually look at their car tires and learn how to see if a tire is low. People are so lazy now days they want an idiot light to tell them every little thing wrong with their car. My TPMS lights came on and I just put a pieces of black tape over the outside on the instrument panel to block the light ! LOL, good vid.

Easier fix, learn to have a selected view and light will dissappear 😅

Lets do.check.engine light next ..lol

I don't know ... after 7 years I now expect it to be on.

Or....you could just get new TPMS sensors next time you get a set of tires. Wasn't that expensive for aftermarket ones through Les Schwab tires...something like an extra $30 per tire for my '08 Xterra. So my OEM sensors lasted roughly 12 years, and the new ones haven't given me any trouble at all, and in fact warned me perfectly like they should when I picked up a nail in my tire on the way to work last July. I've become a fan of the system. When properly programmed and calibrated, it has been relatively trouble free for me except the last year on the OEM sensors when the batteries were going dead. Don't get me wrong Ry, I enjoy your channel and have been wrenching on my Xterra since I got it new in '08, but I'm not with you on this one.

What else is "on" with the TPMS fuse? Can't just pull the fuse?? Just asking.

Good clip. I still don’t get it why there is no option to turn the reciever module off permanently. I mean there is,but the light will stay on anyways.

A piece of black electricians tape works too, just cover it up.

The TPMS sensors are around $60 for a 4 pack and you just have to take the tires off, pull the old sensor and put the new one in. If you live in cold areas where the air in the tire contracts and you genuinely need to kind of keep an eye on your tire pressure this is not the best idea.

Just smashed the bulb no more light 😂😂😂

Good idea but removing the display unit might not be that easy or safe for 'all thumbs' people. Shorting the leads at the TPMS module on some models works fine.Great Informative video though...,thanks.

Why would you not want to replace the sensor? $50 bucks at Costco. Personally and from a overall safety perspective, I want to know when there is an issue with tire pressure,

A new set of tpms sensors is $ 35 for all four.

Just throwing it out there but you could just properly maintain your tires and TPMS system.

Why not just pay the 250-300$ for new sensors? Mine lasted almost 10 years.. ffs that’s 30$ a year really..

Buy a 4Runner ?

Bed

If I do this to my X, I would make sure that when I sell it I would remove the tape or tell the buyer so they are informed that the TPMS system has been altered and, so the buyer is able to have a choice on whether to keep it or remove it. Buyer beware for sure. Unsubbed.

Why not just correct the problem the right way this is idiotic

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!
