My fob cracked and didn't have a good contact. I purchased one on-line to program myself. yes I had two original fobs. It didn't work. even had others try it. threw it in a drawer 6 months ago. watched this video and THANK YOU so much. all I did was switch the insides of cracked fob to the brand one. worked like a charm. if I had not watched this video I would have never known to try that. you saved me some money as I was ready to purchased another one. not very smart having only one fob at a time.

Thank you so much for these great ideas. I have a 2019 grand caravan and my side doors would just randomly open. After a 300 dollar quote from the dealer I bought some cheap aftermarket’s from Amazon which did not pair with the new grand caravan. So I disassembled them. The aftermarket fob had a plastic tape covering the circuit board that force connected the circuit board to the metal connectors. So I ripped off the tape gently and reattached them on top of the circuit board of my native key. Everything works like a charm now.

Thank You Don! Just saved me $360. Fixed for $0 The fob on my 2011 Ram 1500 was doing weird things, like when I locked the doors the windows would partially open and the unlock was intermittent. Usually, when things go wonky the battery needs replacement, so I replaced it. Now the unlock wouldn't work at all. WTF? So I took off the rubber pad. There was a glob of dirt which I dumped out onto my workbench and I proceeded to clean the contacts on the circuit board. Reassembled it and.......nothing works! Then I watched your video and the light came on. Thankfully, I hadn't had time to throw the glob of dirt in the garbage. When I studied it more carefully, I found it was three very dirty little metal discs stuck together. A few minutes with contact cleaner and emery cloth got them all cleaned up. A last cleaning of the discs and rubber keypad with alcohol and I glued them back in place with Lepage's Repair Gel. After a couple of hours for the glue to set, I reassembled it and Voila! - everything works perfectly. Time will tell if the glue holds up, but at least I now know what the problem is and how to fix it for free.

I repaired someone's 2 fobs with tinfoil, a paper punch and glue. It was for a Pontiac G5 or G6. Use the paper punch to make a perfect circle of tinfoil for each and put a dab of glue on the rubber. With tweezers, place a circle on it. button. The ones I fixed are still working after 3 or 4 years. With the Ram, the circles need to be bigger. But I think this would work fine. (I used dollar store two part epoxy mix and a tooth pick to put glue on the rubber) Clean the rubber, remove anything old first. Shinny side towards the circuit board.

I have a truck with the remote start feature and wanted it disabled because it would start when the key was in my pocket. So, I also put in a new rubber piece without that one contactor.

I have a 2012 and it was getting to the point where it was hard to unlock my doors with the key fob button. This was the only function that was affected . When opening up the remote I was able to see gold tabs on the circuit board that make a connection when you press the button on the... back side of the rubber boot there are metal disc that touch on to the goal tabs on the circuit board. All I had to do was use a little Brasso with a paper towel and gently wipe the gold tabs. Apparently they was slightly corroded or had some type of crud on them. Now they are clean and shiny. Now it functions like new.

So I was amazed!! Wish I had found this a couple of years ago! I had ordered a fob on line to replace mine because the trunk opener didn't work, and sometimes it would unlock the car while in my pocket. The local locksmith tried to program the new one after they cut the key, but it was really only good for a spare to open and start the car. After watching this, I took both the original & the "replacement" apart and noticed there was only one tiny metal button left in the original! I think all of the others must have dropped off while changing the battery a couple of times. So the new fob circuit board had all four buttons I needed TAPED ON! I turned both over just for curiosity and noticed that the circuit board was missing some of the things on the other one, which may be why everyone keeps saying you have to get them re-programmed. Very sly of auto makers, don't you think? Anyway I cleaned up the original really well with the alcohol, used an xacto knife dipped in alcohol, and slowly but carefully peeled off the whole piece of tape, placed it on the original, sealed the fob back up, crossed my fingers, took some deep breaths and WOO HOO! WORKS PERFECTLY!!! I am a 68 year old woman who worked on cars my entire life and can't believe it was that simple. 15 MINUTES or less, (I think I had a bathroom break) and I can finally open my trunk without reaching under the dashboard. Honestly, what another rip off from the world of vehicles. Had a 2010 Dodge Durango years ago that we had to spend $275 or more to get the key replaced. I just saved anywhere between $75-$400. Even the locksmith was going to have me come in between 7:30-8 because they might need a "magnifying glass" to fix it. I think I will show up anyway with the photo just to show him how I did it. I am sure that is the first thing they look for, then cut the tape to the correct size with the little buttons off a roll and stick it on. "Thank you, that will be $75.00". Really you made my day.🥰🎉🥳

Your fix is a nicer solution but I wanted to touch on something you mentioned that may help others out. You mentioned the aluminum tape solution. I have repaired two different fobs using heavy duty aluminum foil (not tape). I took the foil with some paper behind it to act as a backing and punched out nice clean aluminum foil circles with a hole punch. Then I used contact cement on the old button contacts and the foil (applied with a toothpick) and let it dry before pressing them together. One of the fobs belonged to my mother-in-law' car and one was mine and they are both still working. I repaired mine about 4 years ago and hers about two years ago. Just wanted to mention that in case anyone is interested. Not as elegant but functional and didn't cost me anything other than a little time.

Nice little vid Don. The current design should be more reliable than the push button, and it's a lot easier to make. The push button would eventually rub through the rubber and allow contaminates in.

In December of 2021 I took our 2014 RAM 1500 in for service ahead of a double round trip between northeastern South Carolina and central Virginia. While at the dealership I asked the service manager if she could have my (failed) fob repaired and if not how much it would cost to have two new ones (The Lovely Brides fob failed at about the same time mine did back in 2017) programed.....Price per fob: $268.95!!! So we use the keys, not the little bitty ones inside the fobs, that ALSO came with the truck at the time of purchase new in late 2013 to unlock the truck and the door mounted button to lock the doors upon exit. Both original fobs still function as ignition keys. Based on our experience with failed fobs and the existence of not two but four metal keys that came with the truck I strongly suspect that somebody in RAM food chain knew that the fobs were a failure point and/or a good way to make a some "side cash" too.

One of my fobs went thru the laundry, the other got soaked in my pocket during a rainstorm. They both will start the van but none of the buttons work. So i just had a seperate key cut and open the door with that. Before the rainstorm, i had replaced the plastic shell and rubber cover a few times because just the slightest touch or bump could lock or unlock the doors. Like sliding the fob into my pocket could operate the locks 5 or 6 times. Walking to or from the van could have the locks operating. So i just leave the fob hidden in the debris inside the van and use the key. Not convenient, but better than leaving the van unlocked unknowingly. And now that it has 184000 miles on it and it is a rolling environmental disaster there is no point in waisting anymore money on it.

Also, don't forget about the "All mighty" dollar. Just like the medical/pharma industry carmakers think that we cannot do without them. They fleece the consumer to the breaking point. They know that most people can't figure out a cheaper solution to get their vehicles back into running condition. BTW~Thanks for this video.

Simply buying new shells for the fob is the easiest and cheapest way to deal with this because the fault is usually in those tiny flexible disks. They get corroded and don't make contact properly. $30 for 2 new ones and all you really need is the rubber piece with nice shiny new disks firmly in place. If the fault is in the circuit board then that's a different story, but usually it's just the switch.

That's a good choice but it will wear out soon thereafter just like the original. The OEM design is awful. Secondly, my Challenger only has panic, lock, unlock and trunk pop. Amazon only sells the standalone rubber replacement for fobs with panic, lock/unlock and remote start. If you buy a replacement key, the tactile domes are taped to the new reprogrammable board, so you are still unable to use your original key unless you can remove the tape and perfectly center it on your old keyfob which I tried, and it did not last long. What I ended up doing was soldering real tactile switches to the board of my keyfob and it seems to be working great.
