I confess, I thought this was a waste of my time and internet space. However, I did try it and it worked. You don’t know how many people are praying for you right now. Thanks tons.
You are a genius! I have a 2016 Jeep Renegade and my key fob stopped working after I installed a new battery. At first, I thought the batteries were defective. Then I call the dealership said they told me it could be reprogrammed by one of their computer specialists but that it would be very expensive and they don't come in every day. Luckily I found your video and your instructions worked perfectly. Thank you so much. You saved me time, money and unnecessary frustration. You'd think the dealerships would know this trick by now.
You Sir are a lifesaver! This worked exactly as you described on our 2013 Dodge Journey Crew! The alarm was going off every time we tried to get in the car even though we used the key but after watching your video and doing exactly what you said, it worked! Had to leave the fob on the door like 10 mins with the car running but we have not had any more problems after that. Again, thank you so much and may your kindness come back to you ten fold!
Tried this on my 2011 Dodge Charger and it worked great. The lock/unlock trunk didn't work but then I stood at the drivers door and had the fob near the outside handle. Kept pressing the lock/unlock and trunk buttons and they started working also. Had a second fob that had a dead battery. Replaced it and repeated the above. Got that one working too. THANK YOU Sir for taking the time to share your fix. Much appreciated.
I have a 2013 Dodge Journey, I just changed the battery in key fob and vehicle would not start. Went straight to TH-cam, found this excellent video. Back in action! Thanks!
Yes thank you. I was stranded in parking lot. Luckily it was a store. I put new battery and was freaking out when it didn't start. Your video was the first to watch and explained short and sweet 😊
That worked on my 2012 Dodge Charger SE. I had replaced the battery in the Key Fob a day or two ago. Today it acted as if it couldn't see it. Drove me nuts. Watched this video and followed procedure. No problem. Started and locked and unlocked doors without any issue. Thank you for spending a few moments to share!
When my granddaughters and I found ourselves stuck on a parking lot because my only fob lost its mind, the local Dodge dealership said I needed a tow to their shop and they could fix it...TOMORROW... My husband found your video. Stressed, I told the 4 girls to be quiet so I could hear you. When they heard what you said to do, they started giggling. I didn't see how it would work. After all, wouldn't the tech at Dodge have simply given this Mamaw the instructions?? Stranded with 4 kids...tomorrow??? But I did what you said and IT WORKED!! 2011 DODGE JOURNEY...and it worked perfectly. Today, the fob is still working. So THANKS SO MUCH!! What a time, money, and fun saver you are! Bless you!
Worked great on a 2018 Chrysler 300! Thanks Sooo Much for posting this!!! This seems to be the only TH-cam video with this fix. May blessings be upon you for posting this! I did have another little issue unrelated to reprograming that I felt was worth sharing. I had replaced the key fob battery, but the two little contact tabs for the buttons got misaligned when I snapped it back together. So I did this fix and initially the fob worked for any function that did not require a fob button push. It allowed me into the car with the door handle/push button, and the car would start and run fine. But again none of the fob buttons worked. So I took it back apart made sure everything was aligned and snapped it back together and wow, now everything works!
I was thinking about getting a tow truck and missed work to have my 2016 dodge journey fixed. It couldn't start after changing the battery but as I came across your video, it worked for me. Thanks sir.
Thank you so much for this video! Worked on my 2013 dodge dart gt with manual transmission. Hadn't driven it in a couple weeks and when I pulled it out couldn't get anything working. Followed your steps using the clutch pedal instead of brake and it worked like magic!
I have a 2012 Journey with the same problem!! It worked. Thank you so much for taking the time to post this video and help me. God bless you and your family. Merry Christmas.
Wife just called me from work after a 12hr shift with this problem. Found this video, called hard back, with some skepticism but WTF it actually worked! Thank you sir. Not sure how you found this odd little trick, considering her dealership didn't know it and told her she'd have a couple hours wait until their service guy could get out to her. Awesome! Thanks again! PS she owns a 2012 Dodge Journey.
We own the same thing and have had non-stop problems. Because the battery is in the wheel well, it gets corroded with salt in the winter. Had to take it in to replace the battery last year because the wires corroded off. Now the battery that is a year old has stopped working and we have to reset the fobs.
It worked on my 2017 Ram 1500, just to add another vehicle to the list. I’ve had to do this twice now as for some reason my battery in my fob dies pretty quick. This method worked both times! Thank you!!
This is best car advice ever 2021 this works like a charm did it twice once when my battery died when I was out and now when it's -16 in north dakota. Life saver literally
No idea how or why this worked but it worked for my new to me 2015 Chrysler 200S. The fob buttons didn’t work at all. The door sensor recognized the fob and unlocked the doors. The ignition also worked. Did this procedure and now all the buttons work. Thank you.
Surprised! i am stunned. For 6 months of Not working key fob. After watching different stuff this one suprisingly worked. After the press the brake to start (it went off and came back on in 10 seconds, kinda like a reset.) with doors closed and switch on (not running) i hit the door unlock button (the doors was already unlocked but they clicked). i did that 3-4 times. Then i hit the trunk, it opened. Then the alarm button. It worked. So follow his instructions and be patient. Luckily it worked for me. Good luck to you. And Many thanks to the guy.
Thank you! My husband just tried this 30 times before realizing his battery was upside down! (The numbers on battery should not be showing when correctly placed)
So I literally spent 5 hours googling, trying different videos and I stumbled upon your comment. I simply flipped the battery over and it worked, I could've sworn the numbers were facing up when I went to replace the old battery. Just imagine how many people have had this issue and it's something so simple. YOU MADE MY DAY. Thank you so much!
This comment just saved our day! Its 100+ outside and my husband and I were getting very frustrated trying to fix the key when I saw your comment and sure enough the battery was upside down!! Thanks!
Awesome video! My wife 2014 Dodge Charger wouldn’t start even after we changed the battery. We came across your video and now she is able to go to work in the morning. Thank you and have safe Holiday..”
kenny Tee Your wife has the same year model as mine. I followed the video and yes I can start my car. But it still says key not detected. I also can lock the doors or remote start from my remote. Is this still happening to her car or is it working?
I have a 2013 Dodge Charger I was toying around frustrated I thought it was a major problem yo this works follow the exact instructions and it will work
Yes, I agree it doesn't look like it will work. I still don't understand why it works when the remote is put in the door before push to start. It should work better if it is in the cup holder, but it doesn't.
Thanks I have a 2012 dodge charger sxt awd and this worked for me....I got so sick of my keyfob only working when it wanted to I even changed out the battery and it still wasn't working this most definitely helped me thanks to you💪🏿💪🏿💯💯
Tried this on my 2010 Chrysler 300 with mixed results. It did allow the engine to start and drive, but after turning it off, it went back to not detecting the fob. However, now it will turn on if I push the button with the fob. So that's certainly better than nothing. Thanks!
After using the base of the key to start my Ram for 2 years. This fixed the problem! I even have my remote start back! Thank you so much! Had an appointment to take my truck to the dealer & was told it needed to be "reprogrammed, $75.00 plus $150 if I needed a new fob". What a dealer rip-off!
Thanks so much. I had this issue with two remotes (one with a new battery) 7 hours from my home on vacation. I used the FOB pressed to Start button method I found elsewhere to get home. But after 7 hours worrying about what was wrong with the car and the cost of the fix I found this. It worked like a charm to reset the key FOBs. PS I missed the 5 ,imutes part and it didn't work the first time but with the proper run time it worked great.
Thank you so much. I was trying to figure this out in a 100 degrees couldn't find anything online until I came across your link on TH-cam and it worked perfect.
Can this work for a replacement fob? Took original key out of broken fob. Or is it the fob that needs programming? I was told the actual key has a chip in it.
So you don’t need to go to the dealer and spend over $275. Or buy an oem key fob programming. Trying this tomorrow on my Chrysler 300 2014. I’ll let you know since I bought a new key fob,
This worked for my 2011 Dodge Journey, but I have to do it every time I want to start the car. It doesn't reconnect more than once without repeating the procedure. Any ideas how to get it back to the way it was before it malfunctioned?
Hahahaha thanks man, been waiting outside my job for 2 hours finally decided to look at TH-cam. The other video didn't work but yours worked perfectly thanks again
My question is, is this for an emergency start when the fob won't work or is this reprogramming the fob to work in the future? I'm a little confused. In other words, do I only have to go through this process one time and then the fob will always be detected to start?
Thank you for showing me this will try it with my Nissan. The dealer keep telling me to buy new batteries. I think it's a disconnection between my car and the fob. It keep say it does not detect a key. Will not open door unless I am persistant. My door has no key access. They also wanted me to buy new fods. I've only had the car 1year. Thanks again
The problem I am having is that when I go into the car, push the brake, and then push the start button, the car will click and not start. It is not the battery, as we just put a new one in. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Ok!! My Kia Stinger key fob could unlock and lock doors but only start with key fob touching the Start button. Battery is new. I've watched 20-30 you tube videos on resetting, nothing worked. But this somehow did!!!!! I don't get it. I thought this guy was blowing smoke-- as simple as he said it, my car started without touching the fob to the start button. Thank You!!!
I confess, I thought this was a waste of my time and internet space. However, I did try it and it worked. You don’t know how many people are praying for you right now. Thanks tons.
Thank you for posting frankly. You're not the first or last person to doubt this method.

@@SagPurpleMoon how did you fix your issues. Mine won’t come out of off. Even using the fob against ignition switch.

Thank you so much for this video. I know it’s been years but this saved me such a headache
Thank you!! Stranded at wall mart with my kids and found your video!!
A good tip is to lay the key fob down inside of the cupholder and start the car. Hopes this helps!

Holy smokes it actually works .. Thought I needed a new fob on a Jeep grand cherokee
This video saved my life it definitely works
Looked silly to me but tried it anyways. Worked on a key fob that haven't been able to use for months. Thanks.
Yes, I agree it doesn't look like it will work. I still don't understand why it works when the remote is put in the door before push to start. It should work better if it is in the cup holder, but it doesn't.
Thanks dude. Saved us on the side of the road!

shouldn't have to be like that. you should change the battery of the fob. and check the car battery as well. thanks for posting
Bro u saved my life thank u so much

After using the base of the key to start my Ram for 2 years. This fixed the problem! I even have my remote start back! Thank you so much!

Thank you!! Worked the first time😊
Can this work for a replacement fob? Took original key out of broken fob. Or is it the fob that needs programming? I was told the actual key has a chip in it.
The new fob needs to be programmed for the car using a key-fob programmer.
worked for my 2015 charger, thank you!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! YES I'M SCREAMING OF HAPPINESS!!!!!
So you don’t need to go to the dealer and spend over $275. Or buy an oem key fob programming. Trying this tomorrow on my Chrysler 300 2014. I’ll let you know since I bought a new key fob,
Also try disconnecting the negative and postive terminal on the battery for about 5 to 10 minutes, worked in my 14 Dodge Charger when this happened.
Worked like a champ! Thanks bro
This worked for my 2011 Dodge Journey, but I have to do it every time I want to start the car. It doesn't reconnect more than once without repeating the procedure. Any ideas how to get it back to the way it was before it malfunctioned?
Thanks for your video. I had same problem and your video helped Me. Thamks again.
That’s all of these videos are very helpful i value time very much I thank everyone for there time God bless everyone
Hahahaha thanks man, been waiting outside my job for 2 hours finally decided to look at TH-cam. The other video didn't work but yours worked perfectly thanks again
It works in 2014 dodge charger as well. Thank you sir.
chetan gill how did you do it?
Thank you! This helped me a lot
My car won't start same as this gonna try this tomorrow and report back. Thanks for the video!!!
When I out a new battery in the remote doesn't work, I tried reprogramming and it still doesn't work. What am I missing? I followed all steps
Thought it worked on my 2018 Durango but it only works immediately after the tap.
I got a 2017 Durango. Did this video solve the issue on your 2018 model?
Thank you very much indeed. Your Instruction just helped me start my car!
Will this work with a fob that has never been programmed for my Durango? As in a used replacement
no.
Worked on my 2015 Dodge Charger SXT . Thank you !
2015 Durango R/T it works lmao. Thanks for the video!!
Thank you for posting! Greatly appreciated 💐
My quistion is can i program a new remote that comes with new mode dodges on the old model dodges with that mercedes like key remote?
Do you know why it would say it’s dead when it really isn’t?
Thank you sooo much!!! I was going insane! It kept saying my key was no longer in the vehicle!
You're welcome!!
My question is, is this for an emergency start when the fob won't work or is this reprogramming the fob to work in the future? I'm a little confused. In other words, do I only have to go through this process one time and then the fob will always be detected to start?
should work doing it only once. doesn't hurt to try again few more times. thanks
Thank you it worked!
Thank you for showing me this will try it with my Nissan. The dealer keep telling me to buy new batteries. I think it's a disconnection between my car and the fob. It keep say it does not detect a key. Will not open door unless I am persistant. My door has no key access. They also wanted me to buy new fods. I've only had the car 1year. Thanks again
Thanks a million my friend.
Think of the amount of money this guy's video has saved everyone...someone should buy you a car.
Thanks it worked my Dodge Journey 2011
Tested the battery at 3.19 Volts and it didn't work. Put a battery in at 3.29 Volts and it worked. So it looks like it depends on the battery voltage.
The problem I am having is that when I go into the car, push the brake, and then push the start button, the car will click and not start. It is not the battery, as we just put a new one in. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much for posting this! This just happened in my 2015 Journey.
Corina Macleod did it work? I have a 2015 Journey and am curious in case that ever occurs
When I press it with the key fob it just says no key detected.
You saved my life!!!!!!!
Thank you it really helped
You just saved my life
Thank you it worked on my Cherokee
Oh god bless you man !! I was really in rush god
Will this method work if You buy a duplicate key from amazon and program it this way ?
No. You need to program the key with a key programmer
Check my other video.
Ok!! My Kia Stinger key fob could unlock and lock doors but only start with key fob touching the Start button. Battery is new. I've watched 20-30 you tube videos on resetting, nothing worked. But this somehow did!!!!! I don't get it. I thought this guy was blowing smoke-- as simple as he said it, my car started without touching the fob to the start button. Thank You!!!
Does it work on chrysler 300 2013? Thx you🙏
not sure. please check comments from others who tried it. good luck
Would this work with my 2012 chrysler 300c?
Worked like a charm. Thank you, sir. Very helpful.
Thank You... Just tried on my 2011 Dodge Journey and it worked.
Wow! Thanks!!!!!! Took me 2 minutes. So happy!!!
