I think all manufacturers should at least be required to have the option of a manual key and tumbler. But I think the push start systems are too unreliable. Not just the key itself, but the actual starting system. Not to mention they’re way too easy to steal. I like the good old days of a key, tumbler, and immobilizer.
I know I need to replace the battery but didn't realize how time just flew by so fast! Now battery is dead and nothing response. I'm in a panic mode but panic button is useless too and I feel like I'm falling apart. Had to take a deep breath for a few and search youtube and found this video which saved me. Thank you!!!
This worked for me. I had a half a tank, parked at walgreens, wouldn't start just would lock the brakes. I did this trick after watching and it worked!!! Thank u!!
It’s 11:15 PM on Wednesday evening. All I can say is Ty, Ty,and Ty. After watching so many videos and reading so many chats, Iand trying everything they suggested, I was finally able to not only open my doors but also start my engine for the first time in over a week. By you showing repeatedly how to change the battery which I had already replaced, but still not working, I was able to take a screen shot of the actual battery and the small wire that was touching the battery. Mine wasn’t. As soon as I did that everything worked as normal again. Thank you for saving me $110 an hour that the mechanic was going to charge me to figure out what was wrong with my starter. Thumbs up for helping people like me with very little extra money. May you be blessed and continue to grow your business online.
Thanks bro. Just fixed my neighbors car. Even though my fix wasn’t none of the issues pointed out it helped me trouble shoot and worked out. Appreciate it!!!!!! You earned a new sub!
Thank you very much you just save me a lot of money. I couldn't figure out why the car couldn't start. I was bout to call ubber and a tow truck and I just youtube how to start a push start car and I came directly to your video. Man I appreciate it very much, this video was very helpful
What?!!! My co-worker just called to say her - yep just purchased vehicle - would not start and I googled and found this video. Johnnie Ray!!! You rock! This worked for her.
Thank you so much for this video it really helped my key fob must be bad because i tried a new battery and that didnt work. i tried your technique it worked. Ill need to get another key fob now
Thank you for this video Sir. I was ready to have my car towed to a shop. Thought it was the alternator or starter gone bad. This trick right here.. Started right up.
Don't own a dodge but went thru a similar type issue with my infinity qx60. Turned out was the battery cable connections corroded over. Still wanted to say good job on the whole trouble shooting to solution follow thru. Not too fast, not too slow. Keep up the good work, cheers!
Thank you for passing this on! "Fob not detected" & nothing yesterday had me stranded sitting AT THE PUMP at busy gas station!!! Figured battery died & could NOT get fob pried open. NOTHING found in owners manual or when I asked dealer sales person "what if..." at sale time & closed on Sundays. Finally got hold of BIL & he vaguely recalled hearing to press button with fob. Seriously thought he was just messing with me but nothing to lose right? Sounded like HE was as surprised as I when my truck started!! Weird part is that the push button worked remotely after that! So not my battery either!
*_"NOTHING found in owners manual or when I asked dealer sales person "what if..." at sale time & closed on Sundays."_* I'm assuming that's by design. Customer can't figure how to start car. Customer gets car towed to dealership. Dealership charges customer $1,000 to "reprogram" key fob (i.e. replace the fob battery). CON-venience at it's finest!
I got the same key for my fiat and I got the same prblem but the battery still good because open the door but it doesn’t start . So I will do this tomorrow . Thanks for the video !!
Great work JT, appreciate how you went through your thought process, shared this process. I feel this is very important for the DIY’er. But I must admit this is not an easy thing for all mechanics to do behind a camera. Not everyone has this skill. I appreciate how it seems to come easy to you. Hell I don’t even own a dodge (yet) but I do appreciate good work so I will definitely tune in for more!! Thanks again. Take care.
Omg. You saved me today with this video. I had to program 1 key for 2014 Cadillac SRX that would not work. Turns out after programming it, it would not start, but the doors would unlock. I sat for over an hour looking at other videos to find a fix. After a while I googled some more and came across your video. I took my key fob and pressed it against the button and it started. Thank you!!!!!
Wow! You are an impressive guy! ....had a trouble code and a dead main battery in my '13 Elantra, cleared the trouble code and now my fob won't work. Satellite will start it, and then shuts off and says Goodbye when I get in. LOL UGH. I'm going outside now at Midnight to try pushing the start button with the fob!
I just tried this on my Toyota Avalon 2013 push start and IT WORKS !!!! Im so excited. I don't like that you can't start it with a key because the key fob battery can die. I took the battery out, and tried this and it worked. It will say it can't detect the key until you touch the key to the start button.
Yo brudah you the man bro..it's 6am in sofla at 45 ' degrees and I was ready to light the car on fire to warm up but your video helped me stay thanku for posting bud be safe...Chas C.

I called someone to give me a ride this morning because my car wouldn't start. I wish I had watched this video before I called them because something tells me that it's my key battery.
Up to my eyes with frustration. 2010 KIA Optima has been in shop over and over. Now, no crack, no start whatsoever. Used your fab to button the last year, worked, now nothing. Changed batteries twice, big battery once, spent so much money, now wanting more money. Please help please.
I really hope you reply beacuse your the first person I've seen do this to a journey. I have a 2015 dodge journey ( bought it a year ago) during the first couple months my first key fob went out so I had a lock Smith make another one since then I haven't had a problem. Today I went to run to the store and it wouldn't stay ( key fob not detected showed up on dash) pulled the keys out of my pocket and tried again same thing, pushed the start button with the fob and same thing. Then the dash stared bugging out, lights started flickering, gas and speedo needles went up and down a few times the door sensor started digging as if the door was open, and there was a clicking/thumping noise coming from under the hood. This was all happening while I was sitting in the car touching absolutely nothing. Any idea what it may be?
So when should you replace the RHF? THE dealer made me replace the RHF THEN THE KEY PUSH START. Brand new truck still under warranty and still had to pay a grip to fix the issue. The key fob would start the truck but I couldn't start it with the button at all.
@@OnlineMechanicTips do you happen to know where I could go to replace the battery? I have a Chevy Cruze & the car kept telling me battery low then tonight wouldn’t start. So obviously I should have listened to my car lol. I’m gonna look on Amazon maybe I’ll get lucky & they’ll have batteries
@@jennlong7123 Yes and those are now sold at your local parts stores like Autozone. nThey also have the remote signal reader. Please subscribe to the channel for me my friend, thanks
JT I have a 2018 XF Jaguar, I look outside and my rear lights were on and my keys don't work to open the door. I don't know why the lights came on. I last drove the car two weeks ago without any problems. What do I do or can you help.
Hey my friend, this a 2018 model. The complete system controlled by a computer. A scan tool that can read those module will def be needed to diagnose such problems. This not really a DIY job
Great video I have a question I have a Lincoln mks and my remote starter beeps 1x to show that’s it’s reading the system but will not turn over wat could it be I replaced battery new hood switch and etc… can you give me advice on this because dealership trying to charge me 165 and hour
I think all manufacturers should at least be required to have the option of a manual key and tumbler. But I think the push start systems are too unreliable. Not just the key itself, but the actual starting system. Not to mention they’re way too easy to steal. I like the good old days of a key, tumbler, and immobilizer.
But then people wouldn't be visiting the dealers as often. Gotta keep the cash flowing somehow!
Some cars you can actually pop the push to start button off and there a spot for your key to go in and start like an old car
I know I need to replace the battery but didn't realize how time just flew by so fast! Now battery is dead and nothing response. I'm in a panic mode but panic button is useless too and I feel like I'm falling apart. Had to take a deep breath for a few and search youtube and found this video which saved me. Thank you!!!

Why is there no ignition for the actual key? Seems like in a emergency sito it would open more than the door. Good vid tyty
So the dealer can charge you $1,000 to "reprogram" your key fob (i.e. replace the fob's battery).
That was a fantastic piece of information JT ,Very good to know I wish I could give you more than one thumbs up for that one, thank you
thanks bud. let those ads play..lol

Ide look at the battery first. Thats the heart and soul of the electrical system. If thats not up to par, nothing else matters
Hey man I got a question can you keep doing that if u don’t want to replace it
No..this for emergency only. May just be a bad battery or a shorted remote.
Bro this worked for me , but I was hours for work late and just didn’t go 🤣
You are Amazing. Thank you. 😘
Life saver!
Excellent. 👍👍🤗🤗
Thank you!
oh my gawd i love u lol. u saved the day !!!!

Hey, JT. I have a Dodge Journey 2011 3.6 won’t start
O boy, elaborate, is it spinning over? Do you suspect this a key issue? if so why?
Very interesting you tips bro
What happens if your battery is good but your push start doesn’t work?? Can you still use your manual key in the ignition.
That’s my question
In some vehicles behind the push button there is an inset for a physical key but not on this vehicle
Thank you
Subbed ♥️
Thanks Jeremiah
This helped me out in a stressful moment. Thanks man.
