Go to the dealer. It is the only way, they have to use a computer. Changing the battery doesn't make it lose it's program though. You most likely broke the battery hold down. This is the most common thing I see at my shop. If the key still starts the vehicle, you now have a bad key fob. If not, you may be able to get it reprogrammed.

    all i did was cut a piece of tissue paper a 1/2 ince wide by about 2" long and folded it up the same size as the battery and set on top of the battery as i put the cover back on. This reinforced the connection and works fine now...simple fix

How to reprogram 2010 Dodge Charger key fob when battery replace

The fob should not need reprogramming. Changing the battery in it will not affect how the fob works. Even changing the vehicle battery won't have any effect on it. Fobs are Not normally reprogrammable, they usually need replacing instead.

Went to use the key fob for a 2013 dodge ram today. Truck would not recognize it.

changing batteries is never a bad idea and it only take a minute or 2 to reprogram you fob remeber you can only have 2 program at a time so if there are 3 one will not work

I have an 2005 dodge durango slt. My key fob stopped working to lock and unlock the doors and when I use the actual key in the lock it sets off the alarm.what could've caused it and what I need to do to...

Easiest thing is to chainge the battery in the fob! Sounds like you armed the alarm and now cannot disable! I know in most cars once armed with key it will be on till disarmed! Possibly a batery disconnect for 20 min may run system down and reset! If you can stand the noise!! Good luck

2005 dodge durango key fob

Hello and thank you for choosing fixya.com. I would suggest taking your vehicle to a local auto parts store and request to have a diagnosis done. (while auto stores vary, this is usually a free service and only takes a couple minutes to complete) to see if any codes are brought up. If so, the representative can tell you what the codes mean, and what needs replaced or repaired. Let them know of the situation. Even if no codes show up, ask them to clear the codes. If this does not work, do the following. 1: make sure that the batter in your key fob is inserted correctly, and that it is the correct size and type. 2. Disconnect the + Positive cable on your battery. This will reset your the vehicles computer. Maybe this will allow the vechile to code up with the fob. If not, I would take it to dealership, or backto an auto part store for further assitance.

I thank greatly for choosing fixya.com. I hope this information is useful to you and helps you get your fob working again. Let me know if you need further assistance, or have any questions or comments. Feel free to rate this information at your earliest convenience.
