Key Fob Battery Died and the Truck Wouldn't Start - 2020 Ram in Davenport, FL

Here's a situation a lot of people don't see coming: the battery in your key fob dies, and suddenly you can't start your car - even though the key is right there in your hand. That's what happened to this customer in Davenport, FL with their 2020 Dodge Ram. After getting stuck once, they decided to get a spare key made so it wouldn't happen again.

A lot of drivers assume a dead fob battery is no big deal because the car has push-button start. But when that battery goes, the truck may not recognize the key at all - and if it's your only one, you're stuck until you sort it out.

Two quick things worth knowing. First: most fobs have a hidden emergency key blade inside, and many push-start vehicles have a backup way to start using the dead fob - your owner's manual shows how. Second, and more important: having a second working key means a dead battery is never an emergency. You just grab the spare.

That's exactly why this customer got a backup made, and it's one of the smartest, cheapest things you can do. We made the spare for their Ram on-site, no dealer trip needed.
