Like evank33 mentioned, it’ll just work. Also, it’s been discovered that the circuit for the release button is already on the fob circuit board (and remote start also) for the HD Rams, so I’m guessing they are there on the DT fobs. You could buy some 4 pin buttons, and solder them in place. You won’t have the labeling on the fob overlay, but they will work when pressed. This will eliminate a dealer visit altogether if you have AlfaOBD to enable remote start (tailgate remote release will work no matter what).

Any idea what type/size driver you need to remove inside fob screws. So small can't figure if it is hex, torx, pentalobe, etc... Lol... even tried zooming in with my cell phone camera. Curious to look at pc board button layout since my remote start bottom is centered and it's offset with fobs with power tailgate. I image pcb is different but figured I would kill a few minutes.

It would be great to find a way to program used keyfob, they are cheap on ebay. They say some locksmith can do this…

Resurrecting an old post only because I want to make sure I'm understanding everything. To get the remote open for the tailgate, it's only a matter of getting a new key fob and having it proggrammed? I have the dampeners, etc., but not remote open.

Exactly. I did it and have remote tailgate working.

Thank you!

I had a new key programmed today that has all 5 buttons (did the remote start mod and that works as intended, woohoo!), but the tailgate will not drop no matter what I try to do on the remote. Anyone have any ideas?

When you press the tailgate button 2x do you hear the actuator and it doesn’t drop, or is it completely dead?

Absolutely nothing. I thought right away that it was just my actuator not kicking it, but as I got closer to it, it just does nothing.
