Step-by-Step Programming Instructions for Your 2000 Dodge Durango Key Fob
Once you’ve confirmed you have a working remote, you can proceed with programming your new 2000 Dodge Durango key fob by following these straightforward steps:
-
Turn the Ignition to Run: Insert your key into the ignition and turn it to the “run” position. This is the position right before you would start the engine. Do not start the engine.
-
Press and Hold the UNLOCK Button on a Working Remote: Take any of your currently working key fobs and press and hold the UNLOCK button. Keep holding the button down for a duration of between 4 and 10 seconds.
-
Press the PANIC Button While Holding UNLOCK: While still holding the UNLOCK button, press and release the PANIC button for one second. Release both the UNLOCK and PANIC buttons simultaneously.
-
Listen for the Chime and Program Remotes: Within approximately 3 seconds, you should hear a chime. This chime indicates that your 2000 Dodge Durango has successfully entered remote programming mode. Now, within 30 seconds of hearing the chime, take each key fob you wish to program (including any previously programmed remotes you want to continue using) and press any button on each remote. After pressing a button on each remote, you should hear another chime, confirming that each remote has been successfully programmed.
-
Turn Ignition OFF: Turn the ignition key back to the “OFF” position and remove the key from the ignition.
-
Test Your Remotes: Thoroughly test all of your programmed key fobs to ensure they are working correctly. Check the lock, unlock, and panic functions on each remote to confirm successful programming of your 2000 Dodge Durango key fob.
