Thanks for making this. I have the same truck, same issue. Took it apart last night after this and reinstalled it. Seems to be working now.

Hey just wanted to say a big thank you! I just followed your video (I have never soldered before) and it totally fixed my truck. Thanks for saving me $650!

Great video! I have been plagued with “turn the key and click, no start”, on my 2017 1500. Might be 0 times or 20 times. Can’t wait to try this😎👍🏻

Great job on the repair Matt .. Anything that saves you time and $$, And keeps you out of Drug villa Portland and in the woods is a huge win .. cost to repair was free .. NICE ! 👍👍..💯% FIXED

Great Video Matt!! After watching your repair video I noticed that you are like myself in that we have a lot of keys on our ring. This is a major factor in this modules failure. Because of that added weight, it applies too much downward pressure to the cylinder and contacts of the module thus creating a wear issue. I repaired mine 2 years ago in the same fashion and now only have my house key and fab on one ring and I haven't had any issues since.

Truck repair, a little Ham radio action. Sounds like a good day.

Local locksmith could have re programed as well as give you your PIN code for you. Also if I’m not mistaken when you get the new win module it comes with the pin0000 and you enter whatever you want and then that is now the new PIN code. That’s how I’ve done it atleast. But man google/KZfaq is also my best tool in my Arsenal!! Awesome video I come across a lot of these. Not this exact issue but once I see it in the field I’m sure I’ll dig into it

Great video … now to attempt on my 2014 power wagon.

I program these everyday!!! Find a reliable locksmith that does automotive all the time. Aftermarket shops do these as well. In my area I go to customers shops, house, parking lots, etc and perform these repairs, replacements, key programming, PIN code retrieval all the time.

Maybe some dielectric grease on the contacts to help prevent corrosion? Yaesu? Have one in our '11 Ram, mounted the radio under the dash, had a bracket made for the head unit to mount to the little tray on the top center of the dash. Do you do cross-band repeat? Would be great to carry an HT to cross-band via the truck to extend your comms range.

Would this work on a push button start?

I followed your steps to success, but after re-installing the WIN won't go all the way back to "off" position. This makes it so key is locked in and has to be forced out. All other operations function as should. Any advice? Dash reads as truck as in park on digital readout but key won't fully go last bit of travel to "off" position.

Ur a great teacher

Man thank you!!!!!!!!

Gracias, buen video.

No contact grease?

Feels like me watching the video made, but forgot about... right up until it worked...... Maybe I have a tip, or maybe someone can help me?? for anyone thinking about this, .... cz, where I am at is that it looks like the desoldering is not actually necessary, bc I was able to bend mine up, but that may indicate my problem... So if you do it, there are 3 points along one edge, and 2 points in the middle together., well those middle 2, beside the CPU, it looks like they should NOT be desoldered, cz they are not attached on the other side. It looks like the contacts have copper wire wrapped around them and then sink into the tunnels, where they touch another copper wire.... At least that's what I have, then the other three being along the same edge, the pcb will just bend up. Is this corrrect, or do I have 2 broken wires on those contacts??? or did I break them when I opened it, and now I have 2 problems, lol... bc, the thing is, even if they are meant to be connected , desoldering them won't just release them from the board, it will break the connection with the copper wrap around, and that will have to be watched, and avoided, right? arrggghhh

Great tip thanks

Great video Matt. But your repair is only a band aid for the real problem. The reason the WIN modules have that issue is from having too many keys hanging off the fob. And as you drive down those bumpy roads, all that extra weight is bouncing and pulling on the fob, and it in turn causing premature wear on the ignition box. Not only does it bend the contacts in the back of the unit, but it will also wear the plastic case down to make everything loose inside. My solution for you is to remove most, if not all, of your keys from the fob. And then your repair will last 300,000 more miles. My advice comes from 25 years of being a locksmith.

What part of Oregon are you in? I've spent my whole life out in eagle creek and estacada. Most of my weekends growing up had views like the one you have on that job.. Also, hope it's not too creepy but I noticed your disabled vet plates. Wanted to say thank you for your service, one vet to another.

Should have pop in new electrolytic capacitors. :) I just threw five new ones into my parking module on my 2008. Don't sweat the pin code. I have an Autel IM508 (if somebody asked me if I could pull the pin code for him I would do it for 25 bucks) ;)

could the win module be responsible for a crank no start...no relatable trouble codes (just minor things like heated mirror etc)...i can hear the pump, and smell fuel from repeated attempts of starting, but it just won't catch...it'll sputter at times as though it wants to, but still doesn't quite get there...changed extremely worn plugs, crank & cam sensors, still no go...it was running until the last severe cold night...parked it one day, wouldn't start the next...just cranks

Hey my guy im a climber and a faller and this is what i lestned from an okd faller whos friend wouldve lived had that gate been unlocked. Just leave another key or your key hidden somewhere sp when the only person you call is a stranger they can open the gate and save somekne. My teacher said his falling partner wouldve lived had there been a key down there

Mines won’t turn at all on my 2010 dodge caravan you think I can repair this the same way

The fix worked for me on a 2014 caravan but now both my keys dont wireless unlock or remote start. Anyone else have this prob?

In my case I get nothing I put key in and nothing I can’t even unlock or lock truck with key Battery is fine

I didn't have to remove any soldier

Dont bend the springs you will have the key is in the ignition message problem.
