Do you need to program a key fob for your 2000 Dodge Durango? It’s a task you can handle yourself, saving time and money. This guide provides you with straightforward instructions to program your 2000 Dodge Durango key fob quickly and easily.
Before you begin, please note: You must have at least one working remote to use these programming instructions. If you currently do not have a functional key fob, these steps will not work for you. In such cases, you will need to visit a qualified locksmith or your Dodge dealership to program the first remote using specialized computer equipment.
Here are the programming steps for your 2000 Dodge Durango key fob:
-
Ignition Position: Turn your Durango’s ignition to the RUN position. This is the position right before you start the engine.
-
Unlock Button (Working Remote): Take your working remote and press and hold the UNLOCK button for a duration of 4 to 10 seconds.
-
Panic Button Sequence: While still holding the UNLOCK button, press and release the PANIC button for 1 second. Release both the UNLOCK and PANIC buttons simultaneously. Listen for a chime. A chime sound within 3 seconds indicates that your 2000 Dodge Durango has successfully entered remote programming mode.
-
Program New Remotes: Within 30 seconds of hearing the chime, take each remote you wish to program (both new and any existing working remotes). Press any button on each remote. You should hear a chime after pressing a button on each remote, confirming successful programming of that remote.
-
Turn Ignition OFF: Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and remove the key from the ignition.
-
Test Remotes: Test all programmed remotes to ensure they are working correctly.
