Why are you asking us, when Autozone publishes their return policy right on their site?
http://www.autozoneinc.com/terms/return_policy.html
That said, I'd try it anyway. If they won't take it, buy a new one, put the old one in the new box, and then you have a new TPS and "original packaging" to return the defective one.

There's no way people are supposed to keep up with the box for a lifetime warranty item.
They'll return it and replace it with the new part.

To return a product to an AutoZone store, simply take the product, in its original packaging and/or box, and your receipt to the store of your choice.
If you still think that makes me a ******, then you can just *** ****** *** * ** ***** * * ******* * * * and ****.

Did you actually read the return policy linked above? Here it is, in case you were too lazy to click the link:
Did you actually read my post? In case you missed it, I said that he should try to return it to the store as it is, and if they wouldn't take it because of their idiotic "original packaging" policy, THEN he should swap the package. I don't see how it would make someone a ****** (not sure what's under those asterisks, but it must be bad) to circumvent a technicality designed to allow Autozone to sidestep its customer return policy if the customer service person decides to be a douche.
If you still think that makes me a ******, then you can just *** ****** *** * ** ***** * * ******* * * * and ****.

He's not returning the part, it would be considered defective and a warranty issue. Return would be I don't want this part anymore, give me my cash back.
Edit:
We do this all the time at my work and the parts house simply puts the defective part in the replacement parts box. What you suggested is a pita for whoever gets the defective part after it goes back on the shelf as a "return".

I actually went in and they gave me a new TPS. They kept the box tho....I was just a lil worried they would make a big fuzz about exchanging it.

No, I'm not angry at all. I just thought your post was really stupid.
Not what I suggested, so just more stupid from you. Why don't you try lightening up?

Yes. Are you trying to be a *****, or does it just come naturally?
Nowhere did I say that he should try to pass off a defective product as a good return. I just said that IF they gave him a problem about returning said defective product because he didn't have the box, he could buy the replacement and use that box to return the defective product. They get the defective product in the box to return to the manufacturer, and he gets the part he needs. Problem solved.
In fact, they took the damned thing back, so this whole conversation is pointless. The unnecessary drama around you must drive everyone crazy.
