I got a set of Rubicon wheels and tires and had TPMS sensors installed in them and now the driver's rear sensor isn't being detected. I switched the two rear tires and it is still not detected only in that one position. I had driven for about 40 minutes after initial install and after swapping the rear tires but no luck. Any thoughts on a cause or has anyone run into something similar?

Take them back and have them checked, it could be a defective sensor.
Check to see if the battery inside the sensor might need replaced
He already swapped wheels, so the problem isn’t the sensor in the wheel.

Do you still have your original wheels & sensors?

They should sync up in minutes or less. I bought a set of MOPAR genuine sensors from a forum sponsor/member here, put them in Rubicon take-off tires and wheels, put them on the truck and by the time I backed the truck out, it was reading the new sensors. When I had the dealer swap back on my originals for summer driving, again, by the time I got in the truck and started moving, it was reading those tires. Takes only a few minutes.

Did you buy MOPAR sensors or something cheap online, or did the tire shop install them?
Batteries are going to last at least 4-6 years in most cases, I think my neighbor said it was something like 6 years. (he's got the originals in their little SUV and they still work after 5 years) RARE is a sensor that needs a battery after only a couple of years. Just rare.
