Archived Will not start after programing new key

[Souders]

Tried to program a third key today on my truck. Followed proceedure in my manual. When tried new key after program engine would only run for 20 seconds. Tried again to program and now all keys will not work. They will not even turn the starter. I currently has disconnected the batteries.



Help appreciated. Can also be reached 303-886-2506

This truck is a 2006 2500 auto transmission.

Just reconnected batteries and both origorinal keys work. New key will only let engine run for 20 seconds. I will not try this key again until I do more research.

May be incorrect key (aftermarket or dealer?) or just needs to be programmed by dealer. If you purchased it at the dealer I would have them replace it and try again while your there. If it will not program, they should try to do it for free with the tool, as the owners manual procedure should work with two good keys.

Thanks

Thanks for the input.

I just programmed a third key today, and it works, but there was one significant thing I noted. The actions that the truck was supposed to take during the programming, i. e. the "immobilizer lamp" illuminating and flashing at various times, did not seem to occur as per the manual. Instead, during the middle of the procedure, the check engine lamp flashed in their place.



Also, not sure where you got your key, but I purchased mine from ekeylessremotes.com. They were certainly not the cheapest, but what appealed to me was that their ordering instructions had specific Part Numbers and FCC ID so I could be sure I was getting the exact same key.



BTW, I ended up at a local locksmith to physically cut the key, because the hardware store clerk was nervous about double sided keys. Locksmith told me that they charge about $86 to program a key if they have to connect to the truck. $6. 00 for him to just cut the key and have me program it.
