I've searched this entire thread and have not seen a solution to the issues I'm having.

Programmed my new fob, starts the truck, but will not lock/unlock the doors.

Hey, here is one of the older diys for fob programming HERE

And I also found this write up which may help you.

Ram Key Fob Solutions 101​

How to program Dodge Ram key fob?​

Enter your Dodge Ram and turn the key to position II. This is the “run” position, right before you fully turn the fob to start your truck. Let all the lights and chimes drop out. From there, hold the “unlock” button for 10 seconds. As you release the “unlock” button, press the “panic” button. This should be a smooth transition, from pressing one button, releasing, then pressing the next. If you have done this successfully, then you will hear an audible chime. Simply press any button on the alternate fob, and you’re done. Exit the vehicle and give your programmed fob a try!

How do I program my 2014 Dodge Ram key fob?​

Turn your key to the ON position, but don’t start the engine. For 4-10 seconds, press and hold both the “unlock” button and the “panic” button simultaneously. Release both buttons, and listen for a chime. Press and release the “unlock” button on any other remotes you want to add within 30 seconds of hearing the chime.

How do I open my Ram key fob?​

Using a coin or a screwdriver, gently pry open the key fob by turning your tool to the left or right. When you have the key fob open, gently lift the circuit board (if necessary) to expose the battery. Make a note of what kind of battery it is and how it’s set in the key fob.

How do you reset your key fob?​

Sit in your car with your remote and key fob, insert your key into the ignition, and turn the key to the “run” position. Press and hold the “unlock” button on your remote for four seconds, and press the “panic” button while still holding the other button.

The key thing (yup – terrible pun intended) to keep in mind while going through this process is to relax and take your time! Yes, this issue can be frustrating when it occurs, but fortunately, it’s an easy issue to fix.

And I found a video as well HERE

I hope this helps!

Thanks for the info @Justthebutler

My question is has anyone tried the press and hold way or reset function in a 2011 where you have to put the fob in the ignition? I have the latest version of AlphaOBD, and it seems to have worked for starting my truck, just not the lock/unlock feature.

Did you check FOB battery voltage? I've gotten replacement fobs with dead batteries before.

On Alfa have you tried the RF Hub settings?

hey so I have the 5th gen with stock leds if I change low beam voltage to 15v will it increase my brightness or will I mess something up ??
I would wager not, as LED's are going to run the incoming through a voltage circuit, and all you will likely gain is a bit less heat in the wires leading to the LED, as higher voltage means lower wattage per Watt's law. (P=IV). IE the power consumption will stay effectively the same, while voltage goes up, so amperage goes down. Same reason why you use 220/480V over 120. Same power, less amps, smaller wires.

I am stuck after accessing the BCM I don't see where the P/T Chassis Net-ASCM Air Suspension Control Module is on the list. Maybe I'm accessing the wrong BCM?

Already done that my friend. I messaged GhostRam to add it to the list of options.

Go to BCM > P/T Chassis Net-ASCM Air Suspension Control Module and set it to “Not Enabled”

No more air ride warning.

Did you try searching for "air"? I was just doing some programming on my '18, and found that the search is decent, until you put a space in the search term. Then it blanks.

But yeah, there is a "suspension" option for controller target.
