Thanks Dizzy!

and as always, combo72, we appreciate the constructive advice. your contributions on this site are invaluable.

 

I'll bet he has a fascinating newsletter you could subscribe to.

 

This is on my invoice. 10575 intermittent/short range of fobik 08804401 replaced and reprogrammed both fobiks. Hope this helps.

 

thanks again Dizzyttc, i'm sure those numbers will mean something to those in the know.

 

I wasn't aware that they were swapping out fobs. That's good to know. Sometimes mine doesn't work and I have to fiddle with it for a few seconds before it decides to do anything. I'll have to check with the dealership when I get back and see what they can do for me.

 

Hope this helps: My fobs both had issues working intermittantly after probably 2-3 weeks of use on my new 2011 Ram. My dealer claimed there were no tsb's from Dodge on this. They initially did not replace my remotes. I replaced the batteries in both with the same issues surfacing again in 2-weeks. I popped the fobs apart & noticed 4 minute (possibly burn or corrosion) marks where the 4 pointed contacts touch the battery from the circuit board.I rotated the battery slightly & all worked well again for another 2-3 weeks. I brought this to my dealers attention & only now they are replacing both remotes...

 

All,

I have found a TSB involving a flash to the WIN module on the 2010 and the 2011 regarding the RKE (remote keyless entry) not working intermittently. I have posted both TSB's below. Sorry, but I could not find anything for the 2009 models.

SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The service flash corrects the following conditions:
· Intermittent no start
· Intermittent RKE function
The above conditions may be caused by a software lockup in the module. The lockup
condition may be cleared by removing and reinserting fuse M27.
Flash reprogramming the WIN will correct these conditions.
DIAGNOSIS:
Verify that the Wireless Ignition Node is functioning as designed. If DTC's are present,
record them on the repair order and repair as necessary before proceeding further.
If a customer’s VIN is listed in VIP or your RRT VIN list, perform the repair. For all other
customers that describe the symptom/condition, perform the Repair Procedure.

Ironhead,

I did realize that but I figure if this poster was looking maybe others will look here as well now that a post was made to it.

 

Thanks so much,I will bring this to my dealers attention!
