I left to get some food 2hrs before I had to get my daughter from school. And went I got back to my truck boom nothing. Just know this video saved me a tow a trip to dealership. And most important got my daughter on time! GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER
Thank You So Much Was Stuck For 2 Hours Waited On Tow Truck. Dealership Is Out 3 Weeks Plus To Look At It... Saved Me A Ton Of Money Worked Like A Charm. Praise God! For Gentleman Like You Sir...God Bless You And Your Family Sir!
I tried changing the fob battery with no luck. I watched this video a cleaned everything thoroughly with electric contact spray, no luck. I finally realized maybe I should clean the fob so I took it apart and sprayed the circuit board with the cleaner and it worked like a charm. So if your have difficulty after following these instruction clean your fob control board.
OMG Brother thanks for the Video... came out of the woods from hunting and went to start my truck, and BOOM... WRONG KEY FOB. Thought it was the cold, so used the remote start to heat up the key and it worked. Thought I was done, NOPE! Went home, then went to go run an errand, WRONG KEY FOB! Then google searched for the problem, and watched your video. Thought, WTH.... opened mine up and it was a mess, dusty as hell! Cleaned it all out, and surprise surprise it WORKED!!!! Thanks, brother!!
What year is your truck and how many miles. I’m having similar problems 2017 Dodge ram tradesmen 60,000 miles. I just got back from hunting trip from the panhandle. Florida was in real rough terrain and muddy got back to work and I have no power in my truck.
RAM 2018 1500 worked out!! You sir are a god send. Stuck out in the West Texas desert 🌵🌵 stressing about what to do. I climbed a windmill to get service and found your video. You saved my ass and my paycheck!
I'm not trying to burst your bubble. All you needed to do is unplug the ignition module...wait 1 or 2 minutes and plug it back in. Or even an easier fix is disconnect the negative side of your battery for a few minutes till it resets and then reconnect.
Had the same thing to our 2014 dodge ram 1500. Had a mechanic look at and he couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Watched this video and had my husband try and it worked. Thanks so much
On the last trip I had to reinsert the key about 10-15 times to get it to read each time. Your video was the first the popped up when I searched for the problem. No visible dust buildup on mine, but I sprayed it thoroughly anyway. Put it back together and the truck is reading the key again! Thanks for your video. 2014 Ram 2500 6.7L Cummins
2020 Ram 1500 - same issue, first time it came up for me today. Intermittent reading of the key. Cleaned of the barrel insert, PCB and housing. Works like a charm. Saved my day dude, thank you so much for this fix 🤙🏻
I had the same problem and followed each step you did with no success. I was about to order a replacement ignition switch but tried one last thing. I removed the switch again then sprayed electric contact cleaner in the connector pigtail and the 4 male pins. I just reattached the switch to the pigtail and no more problems. It’s been working 5 days so far.
Omg My hubbys 2012 ram 3500 has been parked For at least 6 m Would stay on or start Did this & It worked 👏🏽He does concrete So I’m assuming from key fob being in pocket or dirty it stoped working it was a hit or miss Sometimes it would start sometimes it would stay like Stuck or jump back from Run while driveling & Just shut off🤷🏽♀️ Again Ty & Hey Im super happy I was able to get it fixed ✊🏽
My 2014 ram Laramie with the 5.7 hemi has been at the shop for 2 days and they can't figure it out. Today I stopped upthere with the extra fobkey I have and I told him it was the WIN module but he said he checked that first for voltage and it was good.. so I hope he sees this video.my truck standed me 30 miles from home in a sams club parking lot. The tow home was 157.00 with roadside Insurance. Then the tow up to the shop was another 70.00 bucks. I truly thought it was the starter. No clicks, all the lights and power windows work! Thanks man.
My truck scared the shit out of me today with transmission problem on dash. Was able to get home but when I turned off truck it did the exact same thing yours did, so I tried your repair and man it worked perfect. Now it’s back to normal again
Seriously, thank you for your video! I spent an hour trying to figure this out and ended up having it towed to a shop but they could not look at it so I UA-cam this and literally 25 minutes and carb cleaner later I’m back on the road
Awesome video. I got in my truck to go to work and nothing. I started checking all the fuses, luckily it was in my garage by all my tools. Couldnt figure it out because no one had my exact issue. All I did was blow it out. Didnt even clean it. BOOM!. NICE WORK man.
Well my new friend I have to say it took more time to get my tools together and wait the suggested 10 minutes you mention than it did to fix this. And...IT IS FIXED! Starts right up. I can't thank you enough for making this video.
Dude you saved me 1000s on my 2018 Dodge Ram 2500 with this video. After hours of trying everything found this video thank you, you got a subscriber for life man
How dirty was it when you took it apart? I have a 2018 1500 with the same problems. Just watched this video went out to it apart and it didnt seem that dirty
@@scottmoyer47 mine didn't look dirty either, but I sprayed it out, let it vaporize off, and now it works again. Hopefully for a long time. I sprayed off the circuit card, both sides, and also the socket the Fobik plugs into.
This video awesome save lots of time and straight to the point just got home notice truck dash was flickering my alternator brand new and battery just saw this video after my truck wouldn't start when I decided to turn it off at home try to crank up no power at all key was stuck which was weird did exactly what this video said put it back on crank up thanks bro
Wow that’s wonderful all the lives you touched with that simple fix Have the same problem with my work truck going to administer your knowledge and fix the problem now that you showed me the way Many thanks 🎉
I was very skeptical and It worked.. It might not work for every situation but it did for mine and I’m so glad it did, I have a warranty on my truck but they would have to do diagnostics and have it towed and get new keys and reprogram keys so I tried this and it worked.. if you haven’t tried this you should thanks again
Good to know, I live in an area that has lots of dusty gravel roads. I’m sure this video will help save me one day. That’s if I have cleaner and tools on hand.
Thank you so much for posting! I haven't had this problem...yet ... with my 2017 Ram 1500. Good to know how to repair it. I'm amazed though, that dust can get inside that box when it appears to be sealed pretty good. Looking at the posts to this video, I guess it is. But, I now know how to fix it if it becomes necessary!!! Thank you again for a very thorough video on how to do this.
This is great, for if I have a situation like this...... HOWEVER, I have 2 key fobs, one will work no problemo, while the other one won't work at all. How do I get the second one to work? The one that doesn't work is the one I gave my wife to use. Need to get this fixed
Thank you so much you saved my Day, if anyone is wondering if this is going to work i highly suggest you follow instructions i followed step by step and it worked!
Ok this exact thing happened the other night. But there a quick fix that will get you started in the mean time. Found it by watching other videos cause I was stranded. Put key in, hold the unlock button while you turn it on, and it turns on. Starts you immediately. That’s how I start the truck at this moment, but I have to try this to actually fix the issue, cause it still doesn’t start the normal way, only by pressing unlock while starting. Hope this info helps others and hope this video helps me.
@@ferrarimanterrance mine still doesn’t work, and I wait forever because there is a huge back order on the part. It’s the only way I have been starting my truck. I’m just holding the button firmly as I turn the key. Sometimes it takes me a few times. But it’s the only way I’m driving my truck right now and not dead in the water. Tried the brake cleaner bunch of times and didn’t work for me unfortunately.
I had this to happen to me today. I found your video and realized that was the same thing that happened to mine. I took your advice and after getting it apart and cleaning it with electronics cleaner. When I put it back together it worked. Just wondering has the same thing ever happened again. We live on a dusty road. Thanks for posting your fix
My 2012 Ram 2500 has the same issue. I removed it and sprayed it. It still doesn't recognize that the key is in the ignition with no start. Off to the dealer on a tow truck next week. Nice looking trucks with faulty ignitions. I am glad it is parked in an area of yard where it is not in the way and I have a second vehicle.
My key fob was demagnetized or magnetized , so you did give me a clue to what my problem was ,, I hang my keys on a magnet everyday at work Thank God I made it home It's 45 min away I get home take the dogs to the park it's starts raining on us after while we all jump in the truck all wet Go to start my truck , The dash lights up,I can play the radio, windows work , the key fob will not unlock or lock , Turn it and nothing happens turn the key off the dash says "key not programmed" BS timing , I guess it could've been worse found this video heard him say magnetized knew right away that was my problem ,,I solved it by ,,, drum roll .. calling the wife and asking her to bring one of my extra keys to the park and it started right away .. I probably wouldn't have done that ignition thing because I know how expensive they are .. so thank you for helping me in a roundabout way
That’s very odd. Can you try swap the battery in the key fob and trying it again? For the lock/unlock to not work tells me that you have a dead battery. I’m curious now because I don’t think these get “de-magnetized.” Look forward to a response from you
@@MJAltairy ok , back at the park . Separated both fobs swapped the batteries , I start with the malfunctioning fob , I try the panic button I get nothing , Then the locks I get nothing. I put fob in the ignition still in off position it reads on cluster key not programmed, I turn it 2clicks the cluster lights up , the radio comes on but that's it , Then the good fob Igor the panic button works the locks work and my favorite it starts the truck .. I gotta get some keys made for my wife's car in a few weeks I will call the same guy that helped me out a year (good dude) I got three fobs from him at the same price the dealership wanted for one .. any way I will see what he say and try to have it reprogrammed,, hit you back then
Thanks for the step by step guide. Will have to try it out myself this time. I have a 2013 Ram 1500 that had this problem. Unfortunately I decided to take to the dealership (they know what they're doing, right?) and got charged $500+ for ignition replacement with new keys a few months ago. But now it started again, with only one of the two keys working. Definitely gonna give this a try before anything else.
Thx for the Video, imma add this to the list of crap we should not have to deal with. pulled into a parking lot and then all the sudden the truck doesnt know i have a key, yet remote starts and locks/unlocks . completly stupid. I have a 2013 2500 but obviously its that same part.
Was a job site and needed to get some materials to finish job. Got in truck and nothing. Waiting on contact cleaner and I think it will work. Just taking it apart and blowing on it made it do more than it was before. Thank you
Sadly didn't work for me. It was to far gone. Luckily the dealership said under $400 to replace it. She got a ride on the flatbed and a friend came picked up my trailer. Your method did do something it actually registered a key being inserted after following your process so no doubt it would could work.
I used to work for a company that manufactured these ignition with the Fobik 1s. I was a quality control geek and my God, when I saw these things. I thought, why rely on a small plastic tabs to keep the key in and why are we not sealing these to keep the elements out? Also, be extremely careful of the copper coil contacts. The strands are know to break easily.
MJ!!! Thanks for the video. I was able to use Isopropyl alcohol, first I tried to use a Q-Tip and clean everything , but that did not work. I was at the F-It point and decided to pour it all over the circuit board and into the Fob Slot. After drying with compressed air the beast started up. I believe someone asked this previously, but since you cleaned this have you had any issues with it again? Thanks again.
Pray that it unlocks, then when I exit the truck I started locking it from the inside then I would lock it with the fob. After a few days the fob started working lol I was too lazy to do what buddy did in the video.
I went to the dealership where I purchased my 2013 Ram. Was able to purchase the ignition switch you have there. It only cost me $185. (Yes. My truck is a Laramie with remote start) Went home installed it. Same problem. Replaced battery in remote. Same problem. I’m at a loss. I have to like push in hard or bend the fob to one side or another to get it to start my truck. It sometimes takes a dozen or two tries to get it to start. Very frustrating.
Thank you I am going to try that I have a buddy that has a Dodge 2012 that I have to somehow fix and it has been sitting up for a while people have done a lot of messed-up s*** to it got to fix that and then I'm going to try to see if this works wish me luck cuz I know I'm sore going to need it
Any recommended test/repair procedure for the push button start/rotary dial trans shifter for a no crank/ddial won't move out of Park?? 2014 Ram Laramie 5.7.Thanks
I have no power with either my fob key or my regular key. I just changed the battery but there is no power showing whatsoever...not even dash lights and the doors won't even lock. I'll try what this gentleman has shown us.
When having this issue, has your fuel cut off switch ever activated? When this happened with mine, it cut off the fuel supply and I would have to reset it before it would start.
thanks for the fix procedure. I have a 2017 ram 1500 I bought new. I have had zero problems with it since new.. just one little thing …--- NEVER use carb cleaner or throttlebody cleaner on electrical components. I’m not sure about throttlebody cleaner, but I am positive that carb cleaner is an acid… cleaning something like this do you want to use electrical contact cleaner only… Just saying

Sadly didn't work for me. It was to far gone. Luckily the dealership said under $400 to replace it. She got a ride on the flatbed and a friend came picked up my trailer. Your method did do something it actually registered a key being inserted after following your process so no doubt it would could work.
Thank you. Mine just failed and I’m going to try this before buy it.
Hope it works out for you!
It definitely works!! I used Electric Cleaner and it crunk right up!! Thank you and God bless.
Awesome! Glad it worked out for you!
This video helped out tremendously! Thanks brother
Glad I could help!
Worked like a charm, thank you so much for the video!
I used to work for a company that manufactured these ignition with the Fobik 1s. I was a quality control geek and my God, when I saw these things. I thought, why rely on a small plastic tabs to keep the key in and why are we not sealing these to keep the elements out?
Also, be extremely careful of the copper coil contacts. The strands are know to break easily.
MJ!!! Thanks for the video. I was able to use Isopropyl alcohol, first I tried to use a Q-Tip and clean everything , but that did not work. I was at the F-It point and decided to pour it all over the circuit board and into the Fob Slot. After drying with compressed air the beast started up. I believe someone asked this previously, but since you cleaned this have you had any issues with it again? Thanks again.
Nope, never had the issue again since this video! Fingers crossed!
Trying this later after work. THANK YOU
My key fobs acting up… sometimes locks/unlocks and sometimes it don’t, all this with a new battery in both key fobs. About to try this out
Pray that it unlocks, then when I exit the truck I started locking it from the inside then I would lock it with the fob. After a few days the fob started working lol I was too lazy to do what buddy did in the video.

Much appreciated! Thanks for the thorough steps! 👍🏾
I went to the dealership where I purchased my 2013 Ram. Was able to purchase the ignition switch you have there. It only cost me $185. (Yes. My truck is a Laramie with remote start) Went home installed it. Same problem. Replaced battery in remote. Same problem. I’m at a loss. I have to like push in hard or bend the fob to one side or another to get it to start my truck. It sometimes takes a dozen or two tries to get it to start. Very frustrating.
Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge
Best best video ever thanks Hommie you are the man! Chingon
Glad it worked out for you!
@@MJAltairy If this works "DITTO" on all the comments
Im a shop owner and have been going through hell to solve this problem
You was late to work. Great video
Focus your blasting of contact cleaner on the top side of the circuit board. Under the plastic coil stuff. The contact is under there.
Thanks this video help a lot I was about get a new fab one of my fab works when it wants to but the other one works all the time
Just sitinghere waiting on t bits to get here thanks
Thank u for the great video I have a problem just like u described
thanks very much hope i don't have that problem but you never know i have a 2017 ram
Thank you I am going to try that I have a buddy that has a Dodge 2012 that I have to somehow fix and it has been sitting up for a while people have done a lot of messed-up s*** to it got to fix that and then I'm going to try to see if this works wish me luck cuz I know I'm sore going to need it
Mine is doing this now, but if you keep playing with the key you should be able to get it started, at least till your ready to do the job.
Muchas Gracias amigo, gran aporte, bien explicado. Soluciono el problema. Sigue adelante. saludos.
Omg thank you so much it worked you are pro.
Glad it helped!
Sir you are the MAN! Thanks!
Any recommended test/repair procedure for the push button start/rotary dial trans shifter for a no crank/ddial won't move out of Park?? 2014 Ram Laramie 5.7.Thanks
Thanks so much man this definitely worked!!
Nice! Glad it worked for ya as well!
Sorry where did you clean it? What did you spray? Great vidio
Thank you!!!!! I'll be doing this Wednesday... Luckily I have a regular key as a back up for now.
I have no power with either my fob key or my regular key. I just changed the battery but there is no power showing whatsoever...not even dash lights and the doors won't even lock. I'll try what this gentleman has shown us.
This is an ignition fix not a key fix. If one of your keys works this fix isn't going to help you.
When having this issue, has your fuel cut off switch ever activated? When this happened with mine, it cut off the fuel supply and I would have to reset it before it would start.
My 2012 is doing the same thing I hope that's what it is
Fixed my issue!! Thanks!!
Tried it but did not work but my mine was super dirty and did need cleaning ty great video thanks
thanks for the fix procedure. I have a 2017 ram 1500 I bought new. I have had zero problems with it since new..
just one little thing …---
NEVER use carb cleaner or throttlebody cleaner on electrical components. I’m not sure about throttlebody cleaner, but I am positive that carb cleaner is an acid…
cleaning something like this do you want to use electrical contact cleaner only…
Just saying
@@Jodyrides yes absolutely electrical cleaner recommended, I was just working with what I had in the moment.
You solve my problem, you are great, thanks so much from Switzerland, Greetings Mac
Glad i could help! Thank you!
