Blinking orange light under glove box??

I sometimes get a blinking orange light under my glove box, does anyone know what this is all about?

It's probably coming from the TPMS sensor unit that is mounted under the glove box.

Got it, it was the TPMS that was acting up because the tires were cold, didn't know any better, Thanks!

Haha, it freaked me out too, especially since the first time I thought I saw it was during a hangover.

Probably need to check your tire pressures all the same. If the sensor goes off on a cold day the pressure is most likely at the low range of normal in normal temps.

Look on the Driver's door jamb to get the proper inflation pressures for Front and Rear.

Really, it's in the door jamb?? I was looking all over on my iphone for an app that would tell me the tire pressues...

While we're on the topic, thought about just switching to Nitrogen, anyone done this and like the results?

You're all wrong, it means the ejector seat is about to deploy.

I use it on my wife's Jaguar XJ and it seems to keep the air pressure much longer/stable than conventional air.
