My TPMS light is on and will not go off. I had the sensors in the tires checked and they fine but the shop said that the receiver may be bad. Can you tell me where it is located on my vehicle? I have checked several forums, but they are confusing.

I can tell you most of the time it will be a tire pressure sensor, how did they test them? I would scan for codes to see if one of the sensors is not working, this video will show you how:

Here is the location of the TPMS receiver which is in the center of the dash just in front of the shifter. I have also included what you need to do to change it out. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

I saw a video about a fuse that controlled the receiver. Is that true and if so, could that be a problem? If there is one where would that be located? Would like to check that out before tackling the receiver
thank you,

Good call, here is a guide to help check the fuses (3) with the fuse locations in the images below.

Here are the fuse locations and the wiring diagrams for the TPMS. Fuse - ATM keylock, cluster and memory. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.
