Ram Key Replacement in Houston

The Ram series of trucks is very important in Houston's working vehicle range, which means that a loss or damage to the key does not only mean that you cannot operate the truck. It can mean lost working time for those using the truck for their work, such as construction workers or delivery men. This is why having a new key made will really help out. Paul Car Key Houston offers services of Ram key cutting and programming right at the location of the parked truck, which will help prevent unnecessary delays and expenses by having to tow the truck to the shop.

Which Ram Key You Have

Ram 1500, Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty, the Ram 1500 Classic, the ProMaster and the ProMaster City.

There have been changes in the technology of Ram key over the years. The older generation of trucks uses blade keys with chips programmed in the heads of the keys, while newer ones have electronic fobs and proximity smart keys with all their functions performed at distance and for starting the engine. There have also been changes in security modules used for key programming and that's why identifying the exact Ram before proceeding with the service is crucial.

Keys the Truck Suddenly Stops Recognizing

A Ram truck that suddenly stops identifying the keys that have worked before does not necessarily require a replacement of the fob. In the case that your RAM is having any recent work done on it, such as a replacement of the module, disconnecting the battery or even just general electrical work done, then the issue with your key not being recognized can stem from the security or registration systems within the car and not the key fob. If everything that is needed is programming or key registration, then the keys will work normally without buying a new fob.

Cases, Blades and Fobs That Have Had a Hard Life

The frequent use of a Ram pickup truck key fob is proved to be quite damaging for the device, but the presence of visible damage to its casing is no indication that you would have to replace the electronic parts. There are many cases when the problem is quite simple as just the casing gets cracked, separated or the electronics get loose inside the device, and there are cases where the emergency blade becomes damaged, but all these issues are fixable without having to buy and program a brand new key fob, as long as your circuit board functions normally, the electronic parts might be moved to the new casing along with the programming information.

Fleet Trucks and Keys That Need to Match

Those who have many Ram trucks ask whether it is possible to run all trucks with one key. It seems possible to handle the mechanism so that all trucks with the same mechanism will open the door with one blade. Electronic starting authorization is a different story because every truck has an immobilizer mechanism, meaning that each key needs to be programmed individually.
