I have a 21 Ram I bought about a year and a half ago. This afternoon I noticed my buttons on my key fob no longer execute their function on my truck. For instance, I cannot lock or unlock the doors with my key fob. Same for tailgate opening. If I walk up to the truck and touch the handle I can lock or unlock. The truck starts and runs as normal with the push button inside the truck. When I push buttons the key fob red light comes on very briefly. I also tried my spare key which I normally keep in a Faraday pouch and it did the same. No responses from the truck.
I figured maybe the fob battery was weak even though it's very soon for that and even though both remotes do the same thing. New battery, no change in behavior.
I also tried my UConnect app which I don't use super often, and the truck had no response to the lock command even though I was in a strong wifi location at a hotel and standing right next to my truck.
I'm not in my home town and need to drive about 1000 miles back home over the next 2 days. It seems like everything is still working OK, other than remote commands.
Any worries about me making this trip back home?
Any quick other things to check?
