[jws123]

Besides my engine issue on my 2014 my win/Ingnition switch just failed on me had to have it towed home from work. After messing with it if i jiggle it or try it a million times it will finally start I replaced one of these before on a older ram so its not a big deal my part number on the back of the switch is 56046942AF after looking at a few mopar sites im having conflicting awnsers on what fits.

This site says 68271986AA supersedes 56046942AF

Sounds like it might just be 'dirty contacts'. Real common. There are tons of Y/T videos on Ram/Chrysler WIN Modules. Happens to cars & minivans too where the module is used. Esp with heavy keychains. Might be worth a search. Usually contacts can be cleaned or bent back a touch w/o complete disassembly. And put back in the truck.

It's kind of a DIY fix if you're handy. Just a thought.

I recently had my switch replaced in my 2014. Is yours the switch of push button?
If it's the button I can look on my receipt for the part number.

EDIT: Looking at your links and pics I don't think I'm going to be able to help, yours looks very different from mine.
Good luck though.

Not push button start regular fobik I will try to clean it but would also rather just order a new one so its reliable if someone figures out what one will fit.

You can have a bypass set up so you need never tow it again.

Dodge Ram WIN module cheap fix (won’t start)

Instead of replacing WIN module just bypass the start function of it by using a push button switch wired into the start relay

youtu.be

Those replacements will be useless to you unless you have the codes and can flash it. There is a site that sells win module and fobs matched.

These guys now look a little crazy with pricing, but see what the dealer wants. This is utterly sick, I think if it were me I'd go bypass and hide it.

Ya their prices are hilareous my scantool can program it I have my pin I did it with my 2011 not worried about matching keyfobs ect I can reprogram those easy so I just need the correct one I am going to look into the bypass to get me running for now but i want to fix it the right way./

please do, let us know the process for pairing those fobs to it. You have remote start as well?

UPDATE.
So turns out its not my ignition my keys where just shot it was so weird it wouldnt even say wrong key just wouldnt go into accesory/start I paid to much to get a new key programmed. However i have confirmed

68271986AC is the replacement for 56046942AF​

Also it did not require a reporgram for some reason? fired right up It was plug and play maybe because I dont have auto start? No idea but this is the one i got tried and returned after finding out its not the issue.

Glad you got it back on the road!

FYI...When you see P/N's from Mopar Example: 68271986AA and 68271986AC, the two letters at the end indicate the most recent by the highest last letter. C in this example is the newest version. So looks like your research was A+ as you tracked down the right one!

I think the RF hub on your year truck is behind the seat not in the WIN Module like MY12

Thats probbaly why it didnt need reprogramming.
