Key fob programming issues

Dec 08, 2006 4 Replies

I have a 2001 Dodge Dakota SLT with a key fob issue.



The batterery is good in the fob. I took the truck to the dealer and they tested the fob and the fob was giving out a signal. The fob will not unlock the doors and panic button will not work. I have tried to program the the fob to the truck but no luck. The door locks function properly from inside switch. Im looking for other ideas before I go back to the dealer and loose and arm and leg.



Did you use the programming procedure outlined here?

That was the procedure I used and it did not work.

Is it the transmitter that came with your truck? If not, where did you get it? It may not be the correct P/N. Almost daily, I see folks come in with Ebay transmitters that aren't the right one for their vehicle and they are frustrated when they can't be programmed.
