Who doesn’t like the convenience of locking or unlocking all your car doors with a button? Most Wheeling drivers take keyless entry for granted until it stops working. But what happens if your car suddenly stops recognizing your key fob? Don’t panic! RAM 1500 key fob programming isn’t that difficult, and the folks at the service center at Straub Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram will be happy to help. Read this handy guide on RAM key fob programming and learn how to program your RAM key fob in no time!

How to Program a RAM Key Fob

RAM 1500 key fob programming is straightforward, making it easy for any Moundsville driver to do. Just follow these six easy steps to program a RAM key fob:

  1. Get behind the wheel of your vehicle and lock the door with your key fob in hand within ten seconds after entry.
  2. Put your key in the ignition and turn it on while holding down the “UNLOCK” button.
  3. Hold down both the “UNLOCK” and the “PANIC” buttons, then release them both simultaneously.
  4. Hold down both the “UNLOCK” and the “LOCK” buttons, then release them both simultaneously.
  5. Press “UNLOCK” again.
  6. Test to see if your car now recognizes the key fob by getting out of the vehicle, locking it, and then attempting to unlock it with the key fob.

If the RAM Key Fob Programming Process Doesn’t Work

If you’re getting no response from your car when pushing any of the buttons on your RAM key fob, programming may not be the answer- your RAM key fob battery may be dead. In that case, replacing the battery should fix the problem. If you still have issues after that, schedule service with the team at Straub Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, and we’ll get you back on the St. Clairsville, OH roads in no time.
