Hello all!

Sorry to be getting in on such an old thread, but I know some of you experts will chime in with the right advice...

Just had the clutch replaced in my '90 and it returned to me with a terrible rattle/jingle/whatchamacallit noise. We thought it was clutch-related (the most obvious) but after a lot of investigation, we found that the tpms band came loose from the right-front wheel (coincidentally with the clutch repairs) and is just rattling around inside the tire. Makes sense since LTPWS has also been on and won't go off. OK, now to my question...

One sensor's obviously done for, and I want the others GONE while I'm at it, no reason to keep them. I've read somewhere that the '90 is the only year on which you can just remove the sensors and be done with the whole system. No more LTPWS light or anything. IS THIS TRUE? Can I just remove the bands from all 4 wheels and be done with the rattle, the warning light and everything else?

Thanks for everybody's help, as always. Have a great evening!
Chris
