viper 5900 on 07 dodge ram issue

you're correct the only thing working is the alarm and motion sensor, the remote start doesnt work, when I try to remote start the vehicle, it starts and runs for about 2 seconds and then shuts off, he told me that I needed an module that has a place for a key and then it would work (he didnt have any in stock) he said the best place to get it was ebay, it was like $12 on ebay, which is fine, but the price of the spare key (the key has a chip in it) is what has been keeping me from doing it, the dealership said it would cost like $200 for the key. So are you saying the XK532 is a bypass module that would not need a key for the remote start to work, or I would still need a key for that module? Thanks.   2007 Dodge Ram 1500 Mega Cab

Wow I didn't know the remote start wasn't working. Guess I should have asked. Yes you need a bypass module and an extra key. You don't have to have the dealer program it. " Self-Programming additional Sentry Keys (requires TWO original keys) "A" through "G" below is a quick summary of the steps that are required for programming. Following this list, "1" through "6" takes you through the same process in greater detail. Quick Steps: A. Purchase a blank key and have it cut B. Insert original key #1 into ignition and turn to On C. Wait 5 seconds and turn key to off D. Immediately insert original key # 2 into ignition and turn to on E. Wait 10 seconds for SKIS indicator in dash starts to flash F. Turn ignition off, insert new blank key and turn ignition back on G. Once SKIS light stops flashing and turns off, your new key is programmed" Detailed steps: (1) The first step of course is to acquire a blank transponder key. These can be purchased from your Jeep dealer or bought online. Online prices are usually around $20.00. You can then take the blank key along with one of your original keys to any key maker or locksmith and have it cut to match, just like with any other key. (2) Insert one of the two valid Sentry Keys into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the On position. (3) After the ignition switch has been in the On position for longer than three seconds, but no more than fifteen seconds, cycle the ignition switch back to the Off position. Replace the first valid Sentry Key in the ignition switch lock cylinder with the second valid Sentry Key and turn the ignition switch back to the On position. The second valid Sentry Key must be inserted in the lock cylinder within fifteen seconds of removing the first valid key. (4) About ten seconds after the completion of Step 3, the SKIS indicator in the instrument cluster will start to flash and a single audible chime tone will sound to indicate that the system has entered the Customer Learn programming mode. (5) Within sixty seconds of entering the Customer Learn programming mode, turn the ignition switch to the Off position, replace the valid Sentry Key with a blank Sentry Key transponder, and turn the ignition switch back to the On position. (6) About ten seconds after the completion of Step 5, a single audible chime tone will sound and the SKIS indicator will stop flashing, stay on solid for three seconds, then turn off to indicate that the blank Sentry Key has been successfully programmed. The SKIS will immediately exit the Customer Learn programming mode and the vehicle may now be started using the newly programmed valid Sentry Key. Each of these steps must be repeated and completed in their entirety for each additional Sentry Key that is to be programmed. If the above steps are not completed in the given sequence, or within the allotted time, the SKIS will exit the Customer Learn programming mode and the programming will be unsuccessful. The SKIS will also automatically exit the Customer Learn programming mode if it sees a non-blank Sentry Key transponder when it should see a blank, if it has already programmed eight (8) valid Sentry Keys, or if the ignition switch is turned to the Off position for more than about fifty seconds. NOTE: If an attempt is made to start the vehicle while in the Customer Learn mode (SKIS indicator flashing), the SKIS will respond as though the vehicle were being started with an invalid key. In other words, the engine will stall after about two seconds of operation. NOTE: Once a Sentry Key has been programmed as a valid key to a vehicle, it cannot be programmed as a valid key for use on any other vehicle.

Well I didnt want to ask for to much help at one time so I was going to ask for help with something small like the horn beeping after manually starting, so thats my fault. So you think I can find a key on ebay or is there a better site to get that key from? I greatly appreciate all the information.2007 Dodge Ram 1500 Mega Cab

As mentioned above you can test the starter by inserting your key into the ignition and trying to remote start it. They do make bypass modules that do not require a key (I forgot to mention those was reminded by above post).

yes I have two keyfobs that came with the vehicle, and yes the vehicle will remote start if i have a key in the ignition but not turned on, I'm going to be deploying here pretty soon and was just going to suggest to my girlfriend to leave a key in the ignition and remote start it once in a while when it gets cold out to keep the battery charged. so the 556u is the best route huh, i would prefer not to have to get another key to stick in the module. another thing that i noticed is that if i start the vehicle with the drivers door open the horn wont honk, only when i have the drivers door closed and manually start the vehicle it honks.2007 Dodge Ram 1500 Mega Cab
