oen of your gauges is better quality than the other, and yes, the parking light stays on until the car is turned on.

if you're looking to clean it out, i'd recommend some seafoam. pick it up at an auto parts store, it comes in a white metal can with a red logo on it. but yes, premium fuel will help it.

It has to be the computer gauges because I used two handeld ones.

How would I go about fixing it if something is wrong (I am still under warranty)

I mean only one of them is on and it stays on after I go inside and come back out.

You probably have to get the TPMS serviced. Tire Pressure Monitor System.
It is a known issue with 06-07's usually a quick fix they callibrate the tire sensor that is causing the issue and off you go. Worst case they replace system components. Also I think there was a software upgrade for the system so that might be it as well. All is covered under warranty.


The parking light issue not sure what you mean, maybe I am just dumb. LOL
Did you check if the Right parking light is functional, maybe they both should be on but the right is the one with the issue.

I would seafoam it. No need for premium.
I had an 06 LT before the SS.

"Service Tire Monitor System "

Is the message I get. Is there nothing I can do on my own to fix it?
