I bought a used 2004 Durango and of course only one transmitter and missing
owners manual. These are the integrated key/transmitters that have to
programmed or the truck won't run.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Jay

What is the programming procedure? 2003 and older Durangos use a different
procedure. The local dealer says it's in the owners manual. My intent is to
order one from the Dodge web site but would like to set this up now before
the key/transmitter is lost or locked in the truck. (4 young kids)

If you only have one key, you cannot do this yourself. For the owner
to be able to "self-program" the SKIM key, it requires two "good" keys.
To obtain a new key and programming, will require a visit to the
dealer or a locksmith who has the programming capabilities (few do).

Hope this helps!

This is exactly what I had to do about a month ago. I recently bought a 2000
Dodge Ram, and it came with only 1 key and 1 keyless entry fob. I went to Dodge
and got a new key and keyless entry fob.

Cost about $55.00.

Peace of mind having a duplicate set: Priceless
