Why does my Dodge Ram say no key fob detected?

Why does my Dodge Ram say no key fob detected?

I have the push button start, and of course that didn’t work either, saying no keyfob detected. After about a minute of this foolishness, the truck finally started. I drove it straight to the local dealer.

What to do if your key fob doesn’t work?

There have also been a couple times the truck wouldn’t recognize the key fob so it wouldn’t start. In that case, just push the start button in the truck with the back of the key fob. Works every time.

Is there a Bluetooth key for a Dodge Ram?

On a side note, I had an aftermarket portable bluetooth device in the truck and the dealer was not able to program the key until they spotted the bluetooth and removed it from the truck. They reprogrammed the key and all is good so far.

Is there a key fob for the cruise control?

UPDATE: Dealer says nothing exists in the computer logs to indicate what happened with the key fob, figures. On another note, the cruise control threw a fit over the weekend and they did find a code for that. They will be replacing a switch for that tomorrow.

Can a key fob be in your left pocket?

If the key fob was in my left pocket, a week ago, there was a 50% chance it would allow the truck to start. If not….took is out, held it up….started every time. Now, if the key fob is my left pocket, there is about a 10% chance it allows the truck to start. I have to almost always take it out.
