You know what brother, thank you, for taking the time to do something so simple that some of us just don't know how to do. It's people like you that make this world a better place and I mean that.
You dont even understand how helpful this video was tonight. We are on vacation and bought our van used and it only came with one key fob, no extra keys and the doors wont open. We were amazed that there is a hidden key in the fob. That literally was life changing LOL.. we were panicked that we wont be able to open our doors to drive to a place to buy a battery tomorrow, but watched your video and realized there is a key in the fob!!! Now we at least know we can get to the store to get a battery. Of course we realized we had the issue tonight after 9pm and every store was closed that could have helped us. Thanks so much for this simple video that helped us so much!
They tiny key inside the fob is called the valet key. It can lock and unlock the doors but it will not start the car. Intended for if you are at a hotel or something with a bellhop and they load your luggage you give them that key and they can get into your car wherever it is parked, but it cannot be driven.
I was going to call Dodge about this issue but then thought, "let me check RUclips first". Thanks man, it's videos like these that truly make a difference compared to most of the crap on here.
Previously my remote required me to push the buttons six or more times before my door locks would respond. After about a month of dealing with that frustration I found your video and did everything just as you did in your video. Now my remote works just like it did when I bought my 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan new five years ago. Thanks.
I did this for a rental fob and it helped!! I saw that the metal disks were bunched, I separated them and I used nail glue to temporarily fix it. Thank you sooooooo much for this straightforward video!!! 🙏👍👍👍
Mahalo nui (thanks a lot) from Hawaii! Our key fob has been malfunctioning throughout the weekend, until I found this video. Replaced the battery, cleaned the electrical receptacle points of contact, and now it works like it’s brand new! 🤙🏾
Thanks - had a key I lost a few years ago and found it. It did not work, but using your video I was able to take it apart and test the battery. It was at almost full charge so I cleaned. Voilà, it worked.
My Dodge dealer here in Niagara Falls Ontario wanted to charge me $300 for a fob and it was ony a 45 cent battery I got at the $ Store .... that's a criminal enterprise ...... but I dodged them !
I didn't find out until my battery in fob went dead and I didn't know how to get in my van. This was 1 year after I purchased the vehicle! Of course my ex husband knew.
W. Tseng. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH. This video truly helped me. I felt like I was going to break the fob trying to open it. So, seeing you do it helped me realize it's what I had to do to get it open. It was a struggle. THANKS, ALSO for showing us that we needed to clean the inside and how to do that. Remote key working again, well! Rebecca
I had difficulty with my fob right after I bought my Grand Caravan. The dealer charged $15 to "re-condition" the fob. Thanks to your video, I now know a better way!
Nicely done- As much fun as it would have been to buy a pack of 6 CR 2032’s from Amazon and wait 20 hours for the drone to drop them down the chimney, I decided to try doing everything you show except the actual battery replacement. I cleaned the battery & all the contacts (with rubbing alcohol), put it back together with the old “dead” battery... and it works again! Maybe for not vey long, but in a pinch, out on the road, it might be a lifesaver. (And...I stiffed Jeff Bezos for $6!). Thanks for a helpful tutorial!
Very common battery. I bought a 2-pack at my local grocery store. It cost more per battery than those bulk packs, but was less expensive than the cheapest of them.
Thanks a lot used this video to open my old fob, that circuit board had seen better days, I cleaned it. Unfortunately some of the connector points on the rubber insert had no points left on them. I Ordered a replacement off of Amazon opened that up, and simply switched my old circuit board into the new fob, worked instantly simple and easy.
Wasn't sure on how to open the fob. Now I know how to do that and will see how much battery life is left on the battery, as well as knowing what type of battery it is, CR 2032. Thank you.
Thank you SO MUCH for this. You made it so easy! And I didn’t realize I could actually use the key itself to pop open the housing. Very much appreciated:)
This video helped me more than the other I watched. I freeze framed this one at 0.45 sec to see how you get leverage to open it from the outside corner. Thanks.
Thanks. perfect. And I really liked the intro (none) and commentary (none). This is a perfect use of RUclips, and I thank you for taking the time and effort.
I bought a 2009 grand caravan from my old middle school buddy, and it only had the key fob. No back up physical key to get in and everynow and again it locks me out of the whole van. I need to find out where to get a replacement physical key cuz the unlock lock buttons dont work great. So i guess i ja e to try this now. Thank u. I love this van too but shes pissing me off when she doesnt let me inside her. 😢
You don't have to take it apart. There's a cover there that comes off and the battery slips out if you do it right. I tried it his way and it wouldn't snap back together again so I had to glue it.
Your video is excellent thank you so much! When I took the back off I noticed the little round "thing" under the "open" button had moved. and that was the button that wasn't working. It's no longer "glued" on and I am hoping you could suggest a glue I could purchase (or something else I can use) otherwise the cost to replace the key fob is $400 ...and I just don't have that in the budget! Crossing my fingers :) thanks
Could you make it look any easier? 🤣 Thank you! Well....... I tried it. The first fob had been glued together so that got recked. The second one was fine. So they should come apart without to much trouble. The thing to remember is, putting the battery in correctly.
Yo lo hice paso por paso logre hacer funcionar ka alarma abrir las puerta mas no cerralas. Tengo q subir a la gusgua cerrarla dsd adentro por los botones. Al salir tengo q antes poner el seguro manual. Parece q el beepar se esta dañando. Otra cosa mas q se dañada ih Dios
Tasha Bird i havent tried this procedure yet. But i think all we need to do it break the contact from the panic button. I would put like a peice of tape or a small peice of paper under the panic button where it makes connection to the board.
You know what brother, thank you, for taking the time to do something so simple that some of us just don't know how to do. It's people like you that make this world a better place and I mean that.
i guess Im quite off topic but does anybody know a good site to watch newly released movies online?
Definitely felt like i was going to break it, thanks for the video.

This is a great video. No music, no droning narrative. Just quick, simple to the point instruction, done the best way possible!
Glad you liked it!

Yeap....I just stiffed the Dodge Dealership out of $100. On my way to the local corner to blow it on a hooker. Thanks man....I subscribed!

thank you!! Cleaning the termnials was the extra tip I desperately needed. Mine had come off and I didn't realize that's what they were.
Glad I could help!
By far the most informative video I have ever encountered! I owe you my life savings!
Thanks for taking the time to make a great informative video. Much appreciation. May your helpfulness and good will come back to you 3 fold.
No words-no nothing. But perfect! Simple is best. Thank You.
Glad you like it!
This video helped me more than the other I watched. I freeze framed this one at 0.45 sec to see how you get leverage to open it from the outside corner. Thanks.
good to see this one work for you thanks for drop by
FYI: use a small screw driver instead of key tip if you have one handy.
Whew! I had been unable to pry the back off the fob until I watched your video. Thank you for the video.
What is the Battery size?
Thanks W! Inconceivable to me that the owners manual of my Ram 1500 does not mention this procedure AT ALL.
Because the dealer wants your money.
The perfect video-just replaced my battery for the 1st time since purchasing the vehicle back in Nov. 2017.......Thank-You!!!!!
Glad it helped
Thank you ❤️😊 so much! I'm a happy grandma!
You are so welcome!
Just wanted to add that I didn't have a spare battery so I took it apart anyways and cleaned all the connections as you did. It's working now..
Thank you so much
Glad I could help!

There is about 3 different version of the key fob this is the newer style your remote maybe is early version from Dodge
If you want to show your appreciation for this great video, buy your key fob batteries through the link at the top! The poster will get credit.
Great tip!
Awesome. Thanks. My panic button work now, too. It hasn’t worked in the year I’ve had my car.
Awesome, works... just be careful not to wrap the tape around the other side of the pcb and block the contact... or it might not work.
Great point!
Thank you so much. Love this video. You help a gal like me have confidence that i can do some things.

yes make sure dry it off before put it back
My FOB has a small Phillips head screw. Does that need to be removed before hand to open the FOB? Asking for a friend.
