TPMS light

Is there any way to disable the TPMS light/system (ie: pull a fuse).
All my pressures are between 33-35 and I still get it to come on randomly.
I can drive to work and it'll be on for 20 mins then the last 15 mins it'll stay off.
I'm guessing at least 1 of the wheel sensors has gone bad. Instead of tryin to track down which sensor it is and replace it, I'd rather just disable the whole system.
I keep a tire guage in the console so it's not a big deal 2 me 2 check the tires once a week.
Any ideas? I'm tired of lookin @ this light 1/2 the time I wanna go anywhere.

I imagine this would be something the factory warranty would cover, especially seeing how it's an '07?

I agree. Take it back to the dealer and let them deal with it.

Even if the light doesn't come on 4 them the dealer will still fix it? This isn't something that can be recreated under certain conditions, it's totally random. I could get there and the light may not be/come on. Sometimes the light won't come on for a day or 2. It's a PITA cuz the closest dealer is like 60 miles away. That's why I was just hopin some1 knew about a fuse or a quick fix 2 disable this system. If it is a bad sensor and they replace I feel like it's only a matter of time til 1 of the other sensors fails 2.

It's a good question that a lot of us would like to see the answer to.
I have aftermarket wheels and the shop sold me TPMS sensors that don't fvcking work
I've gone back and forth with no resolution. In the meantime, I'd love to lose the silly light.

Well just an update, I think I figured why my TPMS light was coming on.
I bought the car about a month ago and a week later I bought a set of Infiniti logo'd valve stem covers.
I thought maybe thats the problem so I put the stockers back and in the last 2 days I've had no light come on so I think that was problem.
So, just a heads-up 2 any1 considering these. I bought 'em off Amazon 4 under $20 and it said they're TPMS compatible, clearly that's not the case.

Disregard my above statement. Light is still on/off @ random.
