🔧 PRO TIP
The 2017 Ram 1500 uses a remote head key, which is that integrated fob-and-blade combo where the key blade folds out of the fob body. Five buttons, CR2032 battery, and the transponder talks to the immobilizer through the ignition cylinder, not proximity. One thing that trips people up: the fob shell on these is known to crack right at the blade pivot point, especially if the truck key is on a heavy ring and gets knocked around. When that shell cracks, the internal circuit board can shift just enough to kill the remote functions while the blade still works fine. Before you assume the fob electronics are dead, pop the shell open and check whether the board is seated and the battery contacts are making clean contact. Also, if only the remote range has dropped but the key still starts the truck, that CR2032 is the first suspect, not the fob. These batteries don't fail all at once, they just get weak enough that the RF signal can barely make it across a parking lot.

2017 Ram 1500 Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Old Town Camarillo on a Tuesday afternoon, and I'm parked off the main strip when a call comes in from someone a few blocks away. She drives a 2017 Ram 1500 and her remote head key had been acting up for a few weeks, but that day it just stopped working entirely. No lock, no unlock, no response at all. The blade still started the truck fine, so she'd been doing that for a couple days before deciding to get a spare made while she still had a working key.

She mentioned she'd done some reading before calling anyone. She knew to look up my BSIS license number, LCO#6792, on the state website before she handed me the keys to anything. I appreciated that. It's exactly what people should do.

I pulled up to her driveway and she had the original fob sitting on the porch railing. I picked it up and it had that familiar flex in the shell, the pivot area where the blade folds out had a hairline crack running across it. The board inside had shifted just enough that the battery wasn't making solid contact. That was the whole problem.

We talked through the options. She wanted a spare cut and programmed anyway, which was the right call given the condition of the original. I cut a new blade to her vehicle, transferred what I needed to confirm from the original, and programmed the new remote head key using the OBD port. The whole thing took about twenty minutes in her driveway.

She'd called the dealer before reaching out to me. They told her to bring it in, plan on leaving it for a day, and gave her a number that made her wince. She paid a fraction of that, standing in her own driveway, and drove away with a working spare.

Ram 1500 Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

My key blade snapped off in the ignition. Can you get it out and make a new one?
Yes, and it's one of the more common calls I get on these trucks. The remote head key blade on the 2017 Ram 1500 is under a fair amount of stress right at the base of the fold, and if the ignition cylinder is a little stiff or someone forces it while turned slightly wrong, the blade can snap clean off inside. Broken key extraction on these is a standard on-site job. I use extraction tools designed for the cylinder so nothing gets damaged in the process. Once the broken piece is out, I can decode the cut from it, cut a new blade, and program a complete replacement remote head key at your vehicle. Don't try to fish it out with a pick or tweezers yourself. It's easy to push the fragment deeper into the cylinder, which turns a 30-minute extraction into a full cylinder replacement job.
What exactly is a remote head key and why does my 2017 Ram 1500 use one?
My Ram is showing a key-not-detected warning. Where do I start?
I bought a replacement fob online for my 2017 Ram 1500. Can I program it myself?
The buttons on my fob stopped working but the key still starts the truck. Do I need a full replacement?
