My o3 Ram doesn't have the security keys, so what I am relating to you comes from the manual not personal experience.
My guess is that you are not using one of the original sensor (2) keys that came with the vehicle when new. and the rplacement key memory is lost causing the vehicle to not start. Try one of the original keys to see if the vehicle will recognize it. If it doesn't than it looks to me you will need the vehicle pin number and a DRBIII scan tool to diagnos the problem. Good luck..

The following is from the manual for programing additional keys and is the only mention of a timed sequence that I have found.
CUSTOMER LEARN PROGRAMMING
(1) Obtain the additional Sentry Key transponder
blank(s) that are to be programmed for the vehicle.
Cut the additional Sentry Key transponder blanks to
match the ignition lock cylinder mechanical key
codes.
(2) Insert one of the two valid Sentry Key transponders
into the ignition switch and turn the ignition
switch to the ON position.
(3) After the ignition switch has been in the ON
position for about three seconds, but no more than
fifteen seconds, cycle the ignition switch back to the
OFF position. Replace the first valid Sentry Key in
the ignition lock cylinder with the second valid Sentry
Key and turn the ignition switch back to the ON
position. Both operations must be performed within
15 seconds.
(4) In approximately ten seconds the VTSS indicator
LED will start to flash to indicate that the system
has entered the “Customer Learn” programming
mode.
(5) Within approximately sixty seconds of entering
the “Customer Learn” programming mode, turn the
ignition switch to the OFF position, replace the valid
Sentry Key with a blank Sentry Key transponder,
and turn the ignition switch back to the ON position.
(6) In approximately ten seconds, the VTSS indicator
LED will stop flashing and stay on solid for
approximately three seconds and then turn OFF to
indicate that the blank Sentry Key transponder has
been successfully programmed. The SKIS will immediately
return to normal system operation following
exit from the “Customer Learn” programming mode.blank(s) that are to be programmed for the vehicle.
