The TPMS problem is most likely that the batteries in one or more tire sensors have gotten old and tired (no pun, intended). On my 2010 Element I think I have now replaced all four. Batteries are sealed in the sensor so a dead or weak battery requires replacement of the sensor, which requires...

Replaced, AOK So, I had the rear windshield replaced and so far no issues. Had to wait about one week to have the glass arrive. Apparently glass is 'glued' in place and has to sit in the shop for one hour. Not sure I have tested the defroster yet, but things look good.

JDM grey passenger door handle with unlock sw I'm interested. Sent you a PM

Element "Country Squire"? I'm fairly aware of the various Elements in my community. Today I saw one that was new - and a bit odd. If you have a vision of a Ford Country Squire - fake wood grain "contact paper" surrounded by some plastic molding- this Element looked a bit like that. Wood grain...

still not done Welll, besides being a bit intimidated, I've been busy on outside projects around the house. Just trying to finish emptying the garage for winter (snow already). Once the Element can go in the garage, I'll try to id the down time I think will be needed. thanks for asking.

each sensor has a battery Sorry not to see this earlier. The way I understand it, each sensor has a battery, each sensor has a distinct "serial number". The TPMS system is programmed to look for those signals from each sensor. If the battery goes out on one sensor the TPMS light comes on...

I was wasting some time, looking at things far away and saw a low mileage Element for sale in Seattle. Looks like it has had some mods, AWD, manual, the "P" means painted quarter panels. Looks like some fancy rims and pretty new tires. to see...

Just had one of the tpms sensors replaced on my 2010 Element with 45K on the chassis, so lets call that 7 years. As I do a winter/spring tire change out I went to the tire shop I use for that. I think if one planned on doing changing them, one could probably get less expensive tpms sensors...

PM re door lock I've sent you a private message re the r.h. side door lock.

Sales tax FWIW a friend of mine bought a truck that was at a Florida dealer (He is not a resident of FL). Dealer didn't know how to avoid sales tax, so my friend had to do the research and tell them what form to use. Not sure it made a difference, but the truck was then shipped to MA. I'm...

Musings....on Element Ownership Background: I bought my 2010 Element LX/AWD in May 2016 with 40,000 mile on chassis and 20,000 on the engine. It replaced my 2000 Toyota Sienna (van) with about 175,000 miles FWD. I totally agree that you should drive an Element and see what you think. I did...

Battery probs & ground connector diagnosis FWIW a long time ago I had a car where I figured out that the battery post had corroded internally (i.e. that size of the top of the posts is bigger than what goes through to the battery internally. I don't know how they are made - but mine had...

overhead console 2010LX Its on my back burner for the moment until late April, but I bought the bigger console that (might have) come on an EX (not the smaller older version). Not sure about newer bigger console install into older model. Promise I'll document my install with details.

not done yet Quick answer is: Its not done yet. Still need to purchase the non visible parts needed. Happy to document and photo when it happens.
