The main reason why your 2014 Ram 1500's key fob might not be working is likely due to a dead battery. Typically, these batteries need to be replaced every 2 to 3 years, sometimes even sooner. The replacement battery, CR2025, is widely available and inexpensive, usually costing just a dollar or two. It's advisable to opt for a reputable brand as replacement key fobs can be costly. Another potential issue could be a dirty or damaged key fob. If you have ruled out the battery as the cause and suspect the receiver is not picking up your signal properly, try cleaning the key with an isopropyl alcohol solution, allowing it to dry, and then test to see if the key fob functions properly again.
If your remote start on your 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 isn't functioning properly, it's likely due to a faulty or rusted under-hood pin switch in many instances.
