Low pressure light HELP!

Okay well i bought my mini back in oct of 2010 two weeks later i was hit on the passanger side and my care was in the shop for two months i got the car back and two weeks later the light turned on i got the tire pressure checked and everything checked out fine, so i took it back to the shop where they ordered a new button to reset the sensor since it had got stuck because of a drink i had in the accident when they went to put it the new button the noticed the button was not connected to anything as said by the dealer im going crazy with the sensor can anyone help!

Your post is kinda confusing, but let me see if I got this; Your TPMS warning light came on, you bought a new reset button and it turns out the button was never connected anyway?

If so, try your local mini dealer. If the vehicle uses in-wheel sensors, then Mini will have a scan tool to reset/check each individual sensor for which is the "off" one.

Sorry but yes the sensor came on and the button looks as if it was not connected. So im guessing it should be connected to something right?

There be a different reset procedure for your model but I do not understand why they would install a button but have it connected to nothing.

If I were you I would just run by the dealer and see if they can reset it. Usually the Mini dealers will do it for free (no guarantees though).
