OK... so I got this RAM last August. So far I have just passed 40K miles total, but I have only put 6K on her. So I was reading on here about key fobs. When I bought used from a dealer, I insisted on an additional fob as part of the deal as it only came with one. So now I have played with the functions of the fob... I have remote start, and I can use the removable key to open the door. However I can insert the key into the dash start button, and the dash lights start to function, and it will turn, (have to push it in and turn) but it will not start the RAM.
What good would giving the key to a valet be if the key does not start the RAM?
I have taken out one of the keys and had a locksmith make a duplicate... it is a full size key. It does unlock the door. I hid that key so if I should lose my keys I will not be locked out, but I still cannot start the RAM with it. I have taken the second fob and put it under the rear seat so if I do loose my first fob, I can find the hidden key, let myself in and retrieve the second fob.
What do YOU DO in a similar situation?
