Good morning. I've just joined the forum. I want to share a small issue and hopefully get a solution.
I have a 2014 2500 laramie with push button start.
My key fobs will seldom remote start the truck UNLESS, I take the circuit boards out of the fob case to push the buttons. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Do any of the other buttons work on the fob while it is together? If they do you might have to swap the the case for another. The dealership should have cases from other fobs that have gone bad that you might be able to get.

Yes the other buttons work on both fobs. Once in awhile the start buttons work the way they should but not very often.

The only thing that I can think of is that being that the start button is in the center of the circuit board, maybe the board flexes a little in the fob case so something either moves a little or can't connect? When I take it apart and push the button my finger is directly behind the button and provides support? I don't know if that makes sense or not?

Silly question, but are there fresh batteries in the fobs? The only reason I ask is I just changed out batteries on both of my fobs, one hardly gets used, but it was the age of them, (2013), and I never use the remote start. Both of them showed around 2.88 volts, which isn't that far below the 3v mark, but the new ones show around 3.13v prior to install.

Try this, push the FOB's door unlock button and look for the truck to respond. Then go ahead with the remote start. This is what I have to do to get my 2013 1500 RAM to remote start. My 2015, no issues with remote start.
