Welcome to the site. Not trying to be rude or mean but it might help you better to ask that in the Durango section.

 

Is the DRB III scan tool the only option on the 02-05's??? I have an 03 with no programmed remotes. Bought two off Ebay and need them programmed. A locksmith nearby said he may be able to do it, or does he need the tool too??

 

Anyone??? I am going to call the locksmith this week. Hope he can do it without the tool.

 

Locksmith did it for me for $40. Had a scan tool that worked with all key fobs.

 

Has anyone figured out how to do this that have pin 1 location empty?

 

I have an 04 Ram 1500 SLT I don't have any of the original remotes that came with the truck. I looked all over and found the same answer and that is to short plug 1 and 4 BUT plug 1 is not used and is empty. PLEASE HELP! I don’t want to have to take it to the dealer.

 

Still no answer after all these years? Someone has to know how to program a key fob on a 2004 Ram if you do not have a working fob. Many used trucks are sold without a working fob. The only answer I can find and if jump pin 1 and 4 on the DLC. But the 2004 has nothing on pin 1, so this does nothing. Someone out there has the answer. Surely Dodge didnt just screw everyone with a 2004 for fun.

 

Per page 604-606 on the 04 Service Manual in my signature links

Whenever the vehicle battery power is interrupted,
the Remote Keyless Module (RKE) Module will retain
all vehicle access codes in its memory. When replacing
or adding a key fob transmitter (maximum of 4) a
DRB IIIt scan tool is required to program the RKE
Module to accept the new Vehicle Access Code if a
customer owned transmitter is not available.
If a functioning transmitter is available, (Refer to 8

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REMOTE KEYLESS
ENTRY TRANSMITTER
Using special tool 9001, first test to ensure that
the transmitter is functioning. Typical testing distance
is 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) for Asian transmitters
and 30.5 centimeters (12 inches) for all others.
To test, position the transmitter as shown (Fig. 5).
Press any transmitter button, then test each button
individually. The tool will beep if a radio signal
strength that lights five or more LED’s is detected.
Repeat this test three times. If transmitter fails any
of the test refer to the Diagnostic Procedures manual.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter case
snaps open and shut for battery access. To replace
the RKE transmitter batteries:
(1) Using a thin coin, gently pry at the notch in
the center seam of the RKE transmitter case halves
near the key ring until the two halves unsnap. Be
careful not to damage the rubber gasket when separating
the case halves.
(2) Lift the back half of the transmitter case off of
the RKE transmitter.
(3) Remove the two batteries from the RKE transmitter.
(4) Replace the two batteries with new 3V lithium
2016 cell. Install the batteries with the positive terminal
up. Reference the “+ SIDE UP” on the inside of
the bottom half of the transmitter case.
(5) Align the two RKE transmitter case halves
with each other, and squeeze them firmly and evenly
together until they snap back into place. Test transmitter
operation.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - RKE TRANSMITTER
PROGRAMING
New Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters can
be programed using the DRB IIIt scan tool and the
proper Diagnostic Procedures manual. The DRB IIIt
scan tool can provide confirmation that the PCI data
bus is functional, and that all of the electronic modules
are sending and receiving the proper messages
on the PCI data bus.

The following procedure can be used as long as one
programmed transmitter is available:
NOTE: When entering program mode using that
programmed fob, ALL currently programmed fobs
will be erased and they will have to be reprogrammed
for the vehicle. If program mode is
entered and no action is performed, the previously
programmed fobs will continue to function.
(1) Enter the vehicle and close all doors.
(2) Fasten the seat belt (this will cancel the seat
belt chime). Turn the ignition to the RUN position.
(3) Press and hold the UNLOCK button on a programmed
transmitter for 4 to 10 seconds. Within the
4 to 10 seconds with the UNLOCK button still
depressed, press the PANIC button for one second.
When a single chime is heard, release both buttons.
The chime indicates the system is in program
mode.
(4) Press and release both the LOCK and
UNLOCK buttons simultaneously on a fob to be programmed.
A single chime will be heard, this indicates
the fob has been recognized.
(5) Press and release any button on the same fob.
A single chime will be heard, this indicates the fob
has been programmed.
(6) Repeat steps 4 and 5 for up to a total of 4 fobs.
(7) Turn the ignition OFF.
(8) Turn the ignition ON or wait 60 seconds.
The vehicle will remain in program mode for up to
60 seconds from when the original chime (step 3) was
