Dodge Dakota dead remote

[Mixmanbob]

I ran the battery dead on my 2005 Dakota Crew while towing. Either the Brake Buddy or I left the key on one click to far. I ordered a Toad Charge system. My problem is I cannot get the remote door find to work now. I have added new batteries to both. No luck. Thoughts? Thanks!

Try turning the key to the on position but do not crank. Keep this position for 1 minute then turn ignition off then start engine. That should let the computer reset to accept the code from the remote.

Thanks for the response, but no luck..

Still no luck. I should have asked how to reprogram the KEY as they are one unit. Thanks for the response anyway!

Does your Dakota have Sentra Key (computer coded keys)?? if so, you can't program a new key....unless you have a DRBIII, like the dealer does.

That is exactly what I have. I guess it is off to the Dealer. Thanks for your help!
