  3. Press and release the “Unlock” and “Lock” button on the remote at the same time.

Why is my key fob not detected on my Dodge Durango?

When I got in and tried to start it, I got the “Key Fob Not Detected” message. Holding the fob against the start button worked to start the engine. Drove home, and again, the door handle/button didn’t work, and the exterior handle/button on the rear hatch also did not work.

How do you unlock a Dodge Durango door?

I was out this evening, made a couple of stops, and every time, was able to lock the doors using the button on the exterior door handle, and unlock by pulling on the handle. At the last stop, the button didn’t work to lock, and when I returned, the door handle wouldn’t unlock. The buttons on the remote worked normally to unlock the doors.

Why is my Remote not recognizing my FOB?

The remote functions all work normally – lock/unlock and hatch open/close, so I suspect it’s something on board that’s not recognizing the fob, rather than the fob battery. Only thing I haven’t tried yet is to disconnect the vehicle battery (and I’d rather not have to resort to that) but I’d welcome any suggestions before I call the dealer.

Why is my Dodge Durango not responding to roadside assistance?

Chrysler Roadside Assistance sent a truck, and it’s on the way to the dealer. Glad I got the Lifetime Max Care! Just heard from the dealer – the Radio Frequency Hub Module wasn’t communicating with the system. They disconnected the battery, reset the module, and it’s working again.

What happens when your key fob is not working?

A faulty key fob is an inconvenience that can throw off your whole schedule. While it may seem far-fetched to think of your fob as needing regular maintenance, your key fob is not something to overlook because when it fails it can stop you from being able to enter your vehicle at all, let alone start the engine.

Why is my Remote key not working on my car?

In some rarer cases, there may be an issue with the locks on your car doors, like maybe the actuator. While less likely, this is still something to keep in mind if after fixing your key or getting a new one your remote key still won’t unlock car door.
