^^^ Looks like you should call Lippert FlyStar...I don't really think it's your repeater, but it would rule it in or out at least.

And again....I would change those batteries, especially if original. Etrailer says every 12-18 months.
This is Tireminder's recommendation.
A TPMS is not a “maintenance-free” device. As the TireMinder® transmitters are an exterior electronic device, the following maintenance needs to be performed annually: Change the CR1632 batteries. This should happen at least every 9 to 14 months (regardless of time spent using the system).
Lippert, says replace a battery if it fails.......

I put the receiver on the windshield mount next to the rear view mirror and can check pressures and temps at a glance. If I have a pressure loss or high temperature, it immediately alarms and shows me which tire is off.
For me, the TST system is easier to use and gives me the info I need at a glance.

You can do that with the tirelink system too. You need to purchase the monitor.

So do folks with the TST/Tireminder systems have their sensors lose sync over night or while at a campsite for a couple of days? Seems to be a recurring theme with Tire Linc.

I have a laundry list of recurring themes with TL. With the amount of troubles I've had, I'm actually surprised there are a few people that have had it work as intended. Happy for them, but surprised.
My I10 Tireminder system isn't operational yet. Will be in a couple weeks. I have high hopes for it.

Been stationary for 4 weeks. After two weeks all 4 sensors not working. Reset ( re paired ) all 4 of them, 10 days ago. I’m getting better at this, only lost .6 psi on each tire. After 5 days, lost signal on 2. On day 9 all 4 are magically working again.

Theory is a bad wind storm last night that rattled the rv a bit and got them working again.

Alternate theory is a gravitational wave from merging black holes in the Andromeda galaxy has reached the earth. (This took about 2 million years to get here)

Next time one fails I’m going to go out and smack it to see if it will revive. Stay tuned for more on the saga of “The Mystery of Lippert Linc”.
