Lost your key fob or need to program a new one for your 2007 Dodge Ram? You’re in the right place. Programming your key fob yourself can save you time and money compared to dealership services. This guide provides you with step-by-step instructions to program your 2007 Dodge Ram key fob, assuming you already have at least one working remote.
This procedure is specifically for NON-Transponder Vehicles and requires you to have an existing, functional remote. If you don’t have a working remote, you will need to visit a qualified locksmith or dealership for programming services. Before you begin, gather all the key fobs you intend to use with your vehicle, as any unprogrammed remotes during this process will become inactive and need to be reprogrammed. Ensure all doors are closed, you are seated in the driver’s seat with your seatbelt fastened, and no one else is in the vehicle to avoid accidental interruptions.
Here’s how to program your 2007 Dodge Ram key fob:
-
Ignition ON: Insert your key into the ignition and turn the ignition switch to the ON position. This is the position just before you would crank the engine to start.
-
Initiate Programming Mode with Working Remote: Take your currently programmed and working key fob and follow these steps:
- Press and HOLD the UNLOCK button.
- While still holding the UNLOCK button, press and release the PANIC button within 6 seconds.
- Listen for an acoustic signal (like a chime or beep). This sound indicates that your 2007 Dodge Ram has entered programming mode.
- Release both the UNLOCK and PANIC buttons.
-
Program New and Existing Remotes: Within 60 seconds of hearing the acoustic signal, you must program each key fob, including any previously working ones you want to continue using. For EACH key fob you want to program:
- On the remote you are programming, press and hold both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds. Then release both buttons.
- Listen for another acoustic signal. This confirms that the vehicle has recognized the remote.
- Within 4 seconds of hearing the second acoustic signal, press and release the UNLOCK button on the same remote.
- Listen for a final acoustic signal. This confirms the specific remote has been successfully programmed.
-
Repeat for Additional Remotes: If you have more key fobs to program, repeat step 3 for each of them. Remember to include any of your original working remotes in this process if you want them to continue functioning.
-
Exit Programming Mode: To exit the programming mode, simply turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. Alternatively, the system will automatically exit programming mode if no new remotes are programmed within 60 seconds of entering programming mode.
-
Test Your Remotes: Programming is now complete. Test all of your programmed key fobs to ensure they are working correctly by pressing the lock, unlock, and panic buttons to verify proper function.
Important Notes:
- This procedure is for 2007 Dodge Ram NON-Transponder Vehicles and assumes you have a working remote.
- A maximum of 6 key fobs can be programmed to your 2007 Dodge Ram.
- If you encounter any issues or do not have a working remote, consult a professional locksmith or your Dodge dealership for assistance.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully program your 2007 Dodge Ram key fob and regain full remote functionality for your vehicle.
