2005-2007 Dodge Grand Caravans

I am able to purchase New 3 Button or 6 Button Fob Shells w/uncut Key from E-Bay. I was wondering if I remove the Electronic guts 3 Button from a 05 Caravan Fob that I had laying around and place the Electronic guts of the 05 Caravan Fob into the new Shell casing 3 Button from E-Bay and have the key cut that belongs to a 06 Caravan-will I be able to have the 05 Fob Electronic Guts reprogrammed to the 06 Caravan at the dealership utilizing there Scanner? I only have a Transponder key for the 2006 Caravan, no Fobs

    So when they say "Once a Sentry Key has been programmed to a particular vehicle, it cannot be used on any other vehicle" its meaning is that it is pertaining to the Key Blade being cut for that particular vehicle and not the Electronics of the Fob reading the Immobilizer? In other words the Fob can be Scanned to another vehicle of same Make as long as the Key Blade matches the Ignition switch?

Yes, it should be able to be reprogrammed to the 06

  • Anonymous Jun 23, 2009

    Yes, because if the SKIM module goes bad the key will have to be reprogrammed to the new module. Only the module itself remains unique as far as coding goes because it also has the VIN programmed to it. The PCM needs a valid VIN and key to start the car.

Locked keys in 1999 lincoln town car executive and no keyless entry. can I gain entrance without an expensive locksmith?

Hello Jennifer Jackson...

No... even LINCOLN windows are harder to break
(sorry... your LINCOLN is pretty secure).

Worse... the best price I've paid to get a double sided
PATS (passive anti-theft system) key cut = $6.

Bring your own key... But this was all about the price of PREVENTING your current situation... (oops).

If your ONLY key is truly "inside"...
Your goose is pretty much cooked... The cost of
the LOCKSMITH is pretty trivial compared to your
alternatives... Dealers will zing you MUCH BETTER
than your "expensive locksmith"...

But what ever you do... (my recommendation)... Since
you prefer not to be prepared... (no door code or FOB)
Don't pass on the opportunity to have that same SMITHY
at least tell you about your door code POSSIBILITIES
or at least program a remote FOB for you ...

A RESPONSIBLE "expensive locksmith" will
explain the WISDOM of NEVER having less than 2 (TWO) transponder keys. (by reading your owners manual you can program the FOBs yourself (FREE).

How do you manage the "no" keyless entry...?
I remain pretty sure the number pad... & KEY FOB
(wireless transmitter) were standard equipment...

2 SPARE keys minimum... ALWAYS.

1996 dodge grand caravan le key fob doesn't work, batteries are good. Can I need to sync it or reset it?

I put a new battery in the key fob for a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan, and, at first, it still didn't work. Took it to the Dodge Dealer, who said the fob was dead. NOT SO! My husband put a little piece of cardboard on top of the battery so the battery contact was improved, and the fob works fine now.

Program second key fob

Your key can only be programed at the dealer. They have to use a scan tool and a unique id code that they get from the factory. It is done this way to help insure that the vehicle is less likely to be stolden.
