I'm checking in A little late but was hoping Posttal had A resolution by now I am having the same issues with my 2013 1500.
I'll start with my story and see if its the same but different some ways. I purchased the truck from an insurance auction that said it had mechanical issues. The front differential needed work but which I'm A retired mechanic so no biggy. The real problem was none of the fobs worked I got two with the truck I believe to but the original by the looks of wear and tear. The one I hit any button and the instrument lights come the other fob nothing happened pushing the buttons. The fob that did nothing work work in the emergency start procedure using the fob to push the start stop button the other fob would not. I tried to reprogrammed the fobs and the fobs nether would program. I had to erase the keys first and then only one would take a program the one that made the instrument lights come on. The other fob that would start the truck in emergency procedure would not work at ALL. For those that think its the batteries its NOT it was the first thing I changed on both fobs. I thought maybe I just have bad fobs I ordered two new ones just as A back up plan. So back to the one fob that would take A program I thought this is great now its running I'll go on A road trip so I jumped in the truck headed to the gas station cause it was low on fuel I fill the tank up jump back in the truck and NOTHING would work the fob was not detected or said wrong fob and of coarse it was the busy time at the station and cars behind me wanting gas and I couldn't pull away from the pumps. By then my two new fobs were in and programmed them at the same time as the old one. It was A good thing I left those at home and I''ll tell you why in A short while so after I got the transmission in neutral and got help to push it away from the pumps which made people behind me waiting to gas up happier. I called my brother to rescue me took me home to get my spare fobs. Here's were it gets weirder I thought it was just the old fob that was going bad so I returned with the two new fobs jumped in the truck started right up everything hunky dory Right well when I got back home to assess what happened I tried the new fobs neither worked they got I want to say erased but undetectable. FYI this has gone on over several weeks so most people I talk to had me convinced the RF hub was bad Replaced it same exact problem few more days and thought maybe just maybe the the push button was bad so I replaced it same problem. This is what I know so far I've tried several different scenarios and this is how it fails mind you I had to erase and reprogram the fobs to check it out. I started the truck drove it up and down my driveway still worked I drove down the road and back still worked FYI I'm going by the message on the dash that when the fob quits it will say fob not in vehicle or fob not detected. Drove several times didn't quit only until I stopped opened the door no message and closed the door then the message popped up. I did it with all three fobs same thing and did it with drivers door or passengers door either one and yes i left the truck running because it will stay running if the fob is in the vehicle or not.
That's My Story I'm Sticking to it.
Any Thoughts?
I need more line breaks to read that essay.
Think of it like this, every time you start a new point or part of the discussion, try leaving a space.
Some of us older guys need a bit of cooperation and assistance to read large volume posts.
See how I leave breaks periodically?
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
