I replaced the batteries on remote key. How do you make a key work for Chrysler Concord?

To make a key work for a Chrysler Concord after replacing the batteries, you can follow these steps:

1. Ensure the Key Fob is Clean: Dirt and grime can interfere with the key fob's functionality, so make sure it's clean and free from any debris.

2. Reprogram the Key Fob: Different models might have slightly different methods to reprogram a key fob. Below are general steps for reprogramming, but verify the specific process outlined in your vehicle's owner's manual:

- Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "On" position (without starting the engine).

- Press and hold the "Unlock" button on the key fob for several seconds (typically around 5-10 seconds).

- While still holding the "Unlock" button, press the "Lock" button repeatedly until the vehicle's lights flash or you hear a confirmation beep.

- Release both buttons and turn off the ignition.

3. Test the Key Fob:

- Try locking and unlocking the doors using the key fob.

- If the key fob is successfully programmed, it should operate the door locks.

- Verify all features of the key fob, such as remote trunk release or panic button, if applicable.

4. Contact a Dealership or Locksmith:

- If the key fob is still not working after reprogramming, it may need to be reprogrammed using specialized equipment. Consider consulting with a Chrysler dealership or a qualified locksmith for further assistance.

Remember that the specific steps may vary depending on the model year and features of your Chrysler Concord. It's always a good idea to refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for precise instructions to ensure successful reprogramming of your key fob.
