How your immobiliser system works on Ram P/U
Before explaining the different alternatives available to you, here is a short introduction to demonstrate the intent and functions of the immobilizer in your Ram P/U. This electronic part was invented 30 years ago and intends to prevent the theft of your Ram P/U. In fact, thanks to a transponder and an antenna (coil) included in the key, and, a immobilisation control box included in the ECU and a reception antenna on the neiman, your Ram P/U will go each time you place the key in the ignition, it checks that the code emitted by your key is in fact the one expected by your immobilization box. It is only at this moment, that it will let you start. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this system will work.
The different solutions to bypass the immobiliser on your Ram P/U
Enter the code to turn off the immobiliser
First procedure, your key no longer permits your Ram P/U to start, you want to deactivate the immobiliser of your Ram P/U, but first of all you should try this approach to start it and take it to a garage verify that you can not do a less important operation to bring back the normal start of your automobile. In fact, with your automobile you should have a spare key (which you should try and which should start your Ram P/U), but if you don’t have it you should at least have the “code card”, it includes the start code. Thanks to this code, you will still be able to start your automobile by entering it manually. To do this, turn on the ignition, use your centralized button to enter the digits, several quick presses (example: 2 for digit 2) then a stop of one and a half seconds to validate the digit and resume, repeat the operation until you have entered the whole code. This should let you start your Ram P/U without having to remove the immobiliser.
Fix your key at a key specialist or your car dealership
If even though a battery swap, different attempts to enter the immobiliser code on your Ram P/U still doesn’t work, it’s likely your key that’s at issue. We can understand that you still want to bypass the immobiliser system from your Ram P/U. In fact, your transponder must have been injured or must have fallen off your key. To resolve this issue, only solution, go to a key specialist (also available on the internet) or, at your car dealership who can restore your Ram P/U key. Determined by who you go to the repair should cost you about 100 euros if you still have a duplicate or your “code card” and about 350 euros at your car dealership if you have no support and you want a new functional key, it will avoid you having to remove the immobilizer from your Ram P/U.
Manually remove your immobilizer
Although you may be attracted to bypass the immobilizer from your Ram P/U, this is not advised at all for several reasons. First your Ram P/U would be much more vulnerable to theft attempts. In fact, without an immobiliser box, simply doing “the wires” may be enough to turn your car on. In addition to that, your insurance, in case of theft most likely won’t refund you if it realizes that the immobiliser on your Ram P/U has been removed, bypassed or deactivated. This if you still want to do it, some sites still give the method, we have made the choice not to disclose it, because it could benefit people with bad intentions.
