Bought 08 Caravan 2 years ago which only had 1 fob. Bought 2 replacement fobs online and had local locksmith program so I now have 3. 1 original, 2 aftermarket. All good and working. Day to day we use the aftermarket fob.

Last week my battery goes bad in van so I replace it. Van was without battery for probably an hour while I was working and swapping. New battery in and all working including keyless entry on all fobs

Couple days later keyless entry stops working on both aftermarket fobs. Original fob still works with keyless entry. Almost like it lost the 2 aftermarket fob programming?

All 3 fobs still start the van

Any ideas to get keyless entry working without going back to locksmith/dealer? (never go to dealer unless I absolutely have to as there is always a several week wait)

 

Did you ever get this key fob issue resolved? I'm having a similar problem on my 2015.

2015 to program the fobs, you need to have a star scan and not a DRB3 or laptop. Also buying aftermarket fobs are a 50/50 chance that they are good.

 

I was suspicious of the aftermarket fobs too, but my one working fob is aftermarket, while the Dodge fob is one of the nonfunctional ones. Weird, huh?

 

Who is doing the programing?

 

Two separate local Dodge dealership did the programming for 2 aftermarket fobs (purchased a few years apart.

 

What type of scanner are they using to program the remotes?
