I have a 2015 1500 with factory remote start. The remote start button has slowly stopped working over the last several months. I can sometimes get the truck to start if I push the start button rapidly over and over again until it beeps and the lights flash twice. That trick is working less and less these days. I found that if I remove the board from the fob entirely and press the start button twice, the truck starts normally. Unfortunately, there are no contacts to clean on the board so I don't know what to do. The battery is brand new and the FOB controls the locks as designed.

Any suggestions?

Did you ever figure out a fix? My 2015 2500 has the same issue and it's really annoying.
