Was wondering if anyone has changed out their black push to start button with a red one from a srt8 or viper. Something like the one in this link. I have a 2017 1500 sport

If anyone has down this I would be interested as well. The edges of my start button have chipped... which is weird.

Weird indeed, mine is doing the same thing! Nit picky but stuff like that drives me crazy.

I was thinking of trying this on my truck as well. I know it is a direct swap with all Chargers/Challengers/300's. I assume it would be the same with Rams but not ready to take the leap and try it yet. I just like the contrast of the red button.

I think the chipping/wearing of the button is actually pretty common. Which sucks.

Yeah I think it may have been doing it as soon as I drove it off the lot. My wife's 15 Jeep Grand Cherokee has the push start, but not chipping around the edges.

Don't the buttons just pop right out? I don't have PBS on my Ram but by Durango does. You use the key that's in the FOB to pry it out and that's how you start the vehicle if PBS fails. The button itself is just a piece of plastic.

We would just need to know what our exact part number is in the Ram's to be able to figure out if its a simple switch to a red one.

I took the hellcat button out of my 16 charger and it would not work in my 17 ram. The connectors are completely different.

if the connector is different I wonder if a simple change of the wires would work

I did it in my 2013, Required disassembling the Push to start out of a ram, and the srt one that had the red button and physically swapping the red button into the ram housing.

Is the "Rebadge Design" button just a sticker that goes over the button? Or a replacement? Anyone know?

The Rebadge guy is the guy that makes custom badges, doesn't have a web page but has an instagram account.

Find a local sign shop. They can whip you up a piece of vinyl in whatever colour you want (colour match your vehicle?) and have it say whatever you want, like “GO TIME”
