Why does my FOB not work on my Dodge Durango?
Why does my FOB not work on my Dodge Durango?
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.
Why does my car not recognize my key fob?
Reasons your car won’t detect the key fob If you try to use the push-button start, but the dashboard message appears that a key is not detected, it could be that the battery inside the remote is dead. the remote itself is broken or no longer programmed to your car.
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.
What should I do if my car key won’t work?
Look for a hidden slot near the steering column that might not be obvious at first. Press the start button with the key itself. Some cars can still detect dead key fobs this way in emergencies. If it’s a cold day, go indoors and warm up the key fob with your breath. Sometimes, the temperature can mess with the electronics.

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.
