I'm not trying to burst your bubble. All you needed to do is unplug the ignition module...wait 1 or 2 minutes and plug it back in. Or even an easier fix is disconnect the negative side of your battery for a few minutes till it resets and then reconnect.

Yes! Your fix worked for me as well. Thanks for getting the word out on this. It saved me many hours, dollars, and a huge headache!

Finally somebody with some competence. Thanks. You’re the man.

Great video, right to the point and easy to follow. No fluff, just great instructions

2020 Ram 1500 - same issue, first time it came up for me today. Intermittent reading of the key. Cleaned of the barrel insert, PCB and housing. Works like a charm. Saved my day dude, thank you so much for this fix 🤙🏻

On the last trip I had to reinsert the key about 10-15 times to get it to read each time. Your video was the first the popped up when I searched for the problem. No visible dust buildup on mine, but I sprayed it thoroughly anyway. Put it back together and the truck is reading the key again! Thanks for your video. 2014 Ram 2500 6.7L Cummins

Wow that’s wonderful all the lives you touched with that simple fix Have the same problem with my work truck going to administer your knowledge and fix the problem now that you showed me the way Many thanks 🎉

Not all heros wear capes but you need to put one on cuz you're my hero. Thanks for putting this on yt.

You’re a life saver!!! You’re the only guy who thoroughly explained it and I was able to move my truck that stopped on me because of the key

I fixed my truck after watching this video, thank you!

Thank you, dad's truck was stuck in the drive for two days and this was the fix for us😊

Brilliant. Worked like a charm for me on my 2011. Very dusty ignition box after the rural roads. Thank you sir.

Dude I’m so glad a ran across this video! Instantly worked right after I cleaned it out on my 2013 2500! Thank you so much!

Had the same thing to our 2014 dodge ram 1500. Had a mechanic look at and he couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Watched this video and had my husband try and it worked. Thanks so much

Thank you so much for posting! I haven't had this problem...yet ... with my 2017 Ram 1500. Good to know how to repair it. I'm amazed though, that dust can get inside that box when it appears to be sealed pretty good. Looking at the posts to this video, I guess it is. But, I now know how to fix it if it becomes necessary!!! Thank you again for a very thorough video on how to do this.

Thank you so much you saved my Day, if anyone is wondering if this is going to work i highly suggest you follow instructions i followed step by step and it worked!

thank you MJ Altairy. Your video saved me several hundred dollars.

Been having this issue the past week luckily it starts up after a few minutes. But I will definitely be doing this when I get home today. Thank you!

Awesome video. I got in my truck to go to work and nothing. I started checking all the fuses, luckily it was in my garage by all my tools. Couldnt figure it out because no one had my exact issue. All I did was blow it out. Didnt even clean it. BOOM!. NICE WORK man.

It worked! You’re a lifesaver, thank you sir

Thanks for the step by step guide. Will have to try it out myself this time. I have a 2013 Ram 1500 that had this problem. Unfortunately I decided to take to the dealership (they know what they're doing, right?) and got charged $500+ for ignition replacement with new keys a few months ago. But now it started again, with only one of the two keys working. Definitely gonna give this a try before anything else.

Muchas Gracias amigo, gran aporte, bien explicado. Soluciono el problema. Sigue adelante. saludos.

My 2012 Ram 2500 has the same issue. I removed it and sprayed it. It still doesn't recognize that the key is in the ignition with no start. Off to the dealer on a tow truck next week. Nice looking trucks with faulty ignitions. I am glad it is parked in an area of yard where it is not in the way and I have a second vehicle.

Great video

thanks very much hope i don't have that problem but you never know i have a 2017 ram

When having this issue, has your fuel cut off switch ever activated? When this happened with mine, it cut off the fuel supply and I would have to reset it before it would start.

Was a job site and needed to get some materials to finish job. Got in truck and nothing. Waiting on contact cleaner and I think it will work. Just taking it apart and blowing on it made it do more than it was before. Thank you

My key fob was demagnetized or magnetized , so you did give me a clue to what my problem was ,, I hang my keys on a magnet everyday at work Thank God I made it home It's 45 min away I get home take the dogs to the park it's starts raining on us after while we all jump in the truck all wet Go to start my truck , The dash lights up,I can play the radio, windows work , the key fob will not unlock or lock , Turn it and nothing happens turn the key off the dash says "key not programmed" BS timing , I guess it could've been worse found this video heard him say magnetized knew right away that was my problem ,,I solved it by ,,, drum roll .. calling the wife and asking her to bring one of my extra keys to the park and it started right away .. I probably wouldn't have done that ignition thing because I know how expensive they are .. so thank you for helping me in a roundabout way

That’s very odd. Can you try swap the battery in the key fob and trying it again? For the lock/unlock to not work tells me that you have a dead battery. I’m curious now because I don’t think these get “de-magnetized.” Look forward to a response from you

This is great, for if I have a situation like this...... HOWEVER, I have 2 key fobs, one will work no problemo, while the other one won't work at all. How do I get the second one to work? The one that doesn't work is the one I gave my wife to use. Need to get this fixed

Very good info and a pretty easy fix. Well done. I've had a similar problem except in my case, the fob won't unlock the truck or anything. So I use the hidden manual key to unlock the doors, which, of course, sets off the alarm and since the fob isn't working correctly, I have to pull the fuse to stop the blaring horn. Nothing works, so I just leave it for a few hours and come back to it and all is well. Riddle me that one! I've had it to the dealership repeatedly over the years but still randomly, and rarely does this.

this happened to me today but the spare fob started the vehicle. do the 4 pins on the back of unit go to the ignition and starter? just wondering so if i loose the fob when out in boonies and can not get a tow to a dealership could a person start the vehicle by cross wiring some of the wires that plug into that 4 pin connector? also can you just spray cleaner into the unit without taking it apart/out of dash?

did you sprat in key hole ,Or around ket cylinder,Will rubbing alchol work.?

thank you so much
