DMartin27, you wrote

Guys I ended up finding a company out of Texas who will be sending me 2 new fobs, WIN module, and rf hub kit all new and programmed to my vehicle VIN. Plug and play. $919 with shipping and everything. 30 day money back guarantee so let’s try this. If anyone posts to this later and wants the info on where to get the kit lmk. Not sure how admins feel about posting vendor names. Thx guys
-------------------------------------------------------
The RF Hub is usually used with the PUSH BUTTON Start, unless the seller is wording it incorrectly, it happens quite a lot with Ram ignitions.
With Push Button Start, the RF Hub would mount on the rear wall of the cab, behind the rear seat, on the drivers side, to the side of the Cab Vent.
WIN Module or WIN Node both mean the ignition box, whether the Fob fits into it or it is Push Button
I would not be surprised if there were more names for it

If you did not buy a switch that was pre-programmed, you would have to pay someone to program the Fob to the Ignition & the Ignition to the Ram

It came with the 2 new FOBs, the rf trans. and the WIN module all peregrines to my trucks VIN. We verified no push button start. Cheers

No that’s not the package I bought. Mines a newer model

I was not referring to the year

The same product as in the picture is in my 2016
the electronics inside of the box have not really changed 2009 - 2018

I bought the kit for the 2013 Ram 1500. And yes same thing. I received it today. 2 fobs, rf hub, and ignition. I installed them today and they worked perfect

Wow, I bought the WIN for my 14 for less than a hundred new and it was the MOPAR replacement number . My issue was it would not unlock to let me remove the fobik like normal. I found I could force it to off and remove the key . I installed the new WIN and left old one hang by wires till I got to dealer. Once at the dealer I unplugged the old WIN and plugged in the new . 60 bucks later I had two keys programed in. Fixed for a total of 160.00 I took the old WIN apart and found one wire came off the electric motor that works the lock. I fixed that and had a back up that I did eventually use in that truck. That was 3 years ago and the original WIN is still working fine, daughter uses that truck

Sorry guys went on a little vacation with the family. Here’s what I’ve done to no luck

I have a 2013 Dodge Ram 1500. This is what I’ve done. I replaced the battery. I replaced the ignition with a used ignition. The used ignition came with a key fob also. But then someone told me that replacing the ignition doesn’t mean that you need to replace the fob also. He told me that the ignition has nothing to do with what fob you use Bc the fob isn’t programmed to a certain ignition. I’ve just recently bought a new battery a month before this happened or longer. I used to could go in and out of the key fob port multiple times and it would finally start. It won’t start anymore at all. When you put the old key into the new/used ignition and turn the key to run door chimes work, lock unlock buttons work inside the truck. You cannot shift the gear shifter into any gear. Stays in park. I pulled the starter relay fuse and touched a wire to the the left and right ports of the fuse ports on the fuse box. Truck will turn over the motor to try to crank but it won’t crank. Now, I did get a key fob with the used ignition but that fob doesn’t do anything when you put it in the ignition. Nothing at all. The old key fob does get the same as it did before in the used ignition.I’ve checked all fuses that have to do with starting and ignition. How can I tell if it’s the starter relay fuse? You said something ab putting in a push to start possibly being the answer. I’m not a mechanic so could you post a picture of the push to start that i might need. Yesterday I pulled the battery cables off and they are zip tied together. The positive and negative are touching. That was at 5 p.m. yesterday and I they are still zip tied together so maybe a hard reset could work from what I understand. Battery is new. Starter turns over like I said with touching left and right ports of starter relay with a insulated piece of 120v type romex scrap piece of wire. Which tries to crank the engine but it will just turn over and turn over so the starter is fine. I like the push to start idea. My truck doesn’t have the button on the remote to crank the truck. Ive read where you can do a sequence of things to program a different remote, being the remote that came with the ignition i ordered. I’ve read all the forums. The ones about hold this button for so long and then hitting the panic button like this will program a different remote. Is this correct or possible? I’m a maintenance Chief for a investment company and this truck is my livelihood. Someone said the neutral control switch could be bad but I have no idea where it is. Radio won’t light up but other lights/chimes work. Lock buttons work inside the truck. Buttons on fob do nothing. Changed battery in fob. I’m sure I’m forgetting something but that’s pretty much the rundown. Pls help. How can I bypass ignition with push to start? Any advice would do me wonders. Thank you my friends

If you have a TIPM you can bypass ignition and use a push button start, for 11 bucks or so. Of course, anyone could start the truck without a key, so if that bothers you it wont be the answer.

How do you do that? I’m very interested. Do I still need the fob for more than just unlocking and locking the truck?

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

use cig lighter relay, verify it only gets hot with power
