Default Program your own keys

If you need to program another key for your ram. try this
Add Duplicate Key (Requires two existing keys)
1. Insert one of the two existing keys into the ignition lock and turn to the ON (RUN) position.
2. After the key has been in the ON position for at least five seconds but not more than 15 seconds turn the lock back to OFF
3. Remove the key and insert the second existing key and turn to the ON position within 15 seconds.
4. A theft alarm light should illuminate after the seconds and a single chime sound will indicate entry into the "Customer Programming Mode."
5. Turn the key to the OFF position within 60 seconds and remove the valid key.
6. Insert a new key and turn it to the ON position.
7. After approximately ten seconds, a single chime will sound and the theft alarm light will stop. Wait five seconds and turn the key to the OFF position.
8. The above steps must be repeated for additional keys

Good info and will save $40 from having the dealer do it.

Default RE: Program your own keys

I tried it and step 7 didn't happen. Security light flashed forever and single chime never came. So new key didn't get programmed. I got blank key (gray) from internet and the same instruction came with it. Did anyone havethis problem? My Ram is '06 1500 4x4. TIA
