How to Program the Keyless Entry for a 1997 Dodge Dakota
- 1). Turn the key in the ignition to the "Run" position without cranking the engine.
- 2). Press the "Unlock" button on the pre-programmed Dodge Dakota keyless entry remote. Press the remote's "Panic" button while continuing to hold down the "Unlock" button. Release the buttons simultaneously and wait for a chime to sound to confirm that you have accessed the vehicle's programming mode.
- 3). Push the "Lock" button on the un-programmed keyless entry remote within 30 seconds of hearing the confirmation chime. Note that a second chime will sound if the remote has been successfully programmed for your 1997 Dodge Dakota.
- 4). Turn off the ignition and remove the key.
