2010 Dodge Dakota

Remote / key fob programming

On a transponder remote-key, the remote is programmed during the key procedure — use the key programming steps. On a non-transponder vehicle, you can program the remote yourself if you already have one working remote with all buttons functional. Any remote not reprogrammed now will stop working.

CR2032 battery on Amazon

1999–2000 Dodge Dakota key fob battery

Your 1999–2000 Dodge Dakota key fob uses a CR2016 3V lithium coin cell. A fresh one typically lasts 3–5 years.

Buy Energizer CR2016 Lithium Coin Batteries (2-pack) on Amazon

How to replace the battery

  1. 1 Find the seam or small slot on the edge of the remote.
  2. 2 Twist a coin or small flathead in the slot to split the case open.
  3. 3 Remove the old coin cell and note the + side.
  4. 4 Fit the new battery with the + side matching, then close the case.
  5. 5 Press a button to confirm the LED lights, then test at the car.

Battery tips

  • Use a fresh, name-brand 3V lithium cell — bargain cells drain quickly.
  • Try not to touch both faces of the new battery; skin oils shorten its life.
  • If the remote still doesn't work after a new battery, it may need re-syncing or programming.
