Just found this video. RTV is a great idea, because you are very correct in the fact that the adhesive must remain pliable! Superglue or epoxy will prevent that steel disk from being able to "pop" when the button is depressed. Might add, if anyone here is attempting this, pay close attention to the direction you place the disc onto the rubber button as there is a top and a bottom. Thanks for the video!
If you need to find these ''metal discs'' because you lost them they are called 'dome switches' and/or 'PCB Surface Mount Tactile Membrane Switches'. Also its easier to secure these discs directly to the board... many have used 'magic tape' for this but electronic glue around the outer edge may work also. Thanks for the video Redneck Mfg.
Where can I find this switches at?? I need to replace mine asap as to they don't click anymore like the video shows lol. Mine aren't round anymore they r flat?
I found the same problem with my 2015 dodge dart. AND. That's the way I was going to fix my problem. Good to find someone who thinks like I do. Just hope it is a long time/ permanent repair.
Thank you, sir. I was trying to figure out why mine wasn't working. I had changed the battery , and after watching this, I saw that the metal disc was on another part of the control.
Nice job getting all those contacts clean and back in place. I've run mine through the washer and dryer a couple of times with no problem so far. Every time I do it , I know it will be the last...ha ha
Tom's Key sells replacement key fobs with a programmer for 100 bucks, which is half of 200 but it's still more expensive than fixing the fob itself like this.
I had the same problem with my key fob on a 2014 Ram Bighorn 1500 where the horn starting honking randomly, I ended up needing a different key fob after taking it apart and cleaning just like you did in your video. I think the p.c. board was the cause.!!!
Quick fix: Tape! Disassemble your key fob. Take off all the little metallic domes. Figure out exactly where they need to contact the board. Then tape them down to the board. I tried super glue at first. The hot glue. Then I found your video and figure out I was doing it all wrong. Tape is the quickest fix!
Nice, getting it to work 3 times 😊. My jeeps key fob battery went flat and the dealer wanted $100 to pair it back to the car and $10 for the battery 😠. I showed my discussed and he charged me 50 bucks.
Now you can search how to make your truck use those 4 other contacts. Top Right of those is the Remote Start. Not sure what the other 3 are, but I'm sure the $200 programmer that someone makes to "hack" into the Ram computer, can make them do almost anything that is electronic and controllable by the truck by remote.
Happened to both of my 2015 3500 keys, both unlock buttons. I ordered two fobs on the internet and gonna swap the rubber piece that the discs are so called secured to
