At Morgan Hill Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, serving the communities of Morgan Hill, CA, Gilroy, and San Jose, we understand how crucial reliable service and expert assistance are, especially when an unexpected situation like this occurs.

If you discover your RAM 2500 key is lost, here are the recommended steps to follow:
- Retrace your steps to ensure the key is truly lost.
- If the key is not found, contact the dealership directly with your proof of ownership, Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), and a valid photo ID; this information is necessary for security and programming new keys.
- Reach out to Morgan Hill Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram’s Parts Department so our specialists can confirm your truck's year, trim, and available options (including keyless entry or push-button start) to order the correct OEM key or fob.
- Schedule an appointment for key programming—modern RAM 2500s use transponder chips and encrypted communication that require advanced programming only available at your certified dealership.
- If you’re locked out, inquire about our extended service hours or assistance options, so you get the help you need as soon as possible.
