I remote start from home.
Truck let's me in.
Push flashing ignition button..nothing..still flashing.
Look at dash, is telling me no fob nearby or something.
I think maybe batt is low.
Gotta get spare fob from house.
Open door to exit and Alarmhorn starts blaring.
Can't shut it off.. I get spare fob..still can't shut off horn until I get inside truck and it shuts off. Don't know ..did it shut off byself or finally acknowledge me pushing fob button.
Turn on Ram and 8" screen takes abnormal extra time to finally display normal function.
Anybody?
Battery would be my first trouble shoot elimination.
But I know what a low battery does. And certainly isn't a catalyst to That embarrassing gong show.

I've had similar where I get the DIC message key FOB not detected or something like that. Seems like the FOB became unsynced with the truck and both times it happened after a FOB remote start. Both times it has happened to me, I hit the FOB's lock/unlock sequence twice and the issue was solved.

Today, remote start and no issues. Odd. If it happens again I'll try the lock unlock 2x's.
Thanks
