I am wondering if I can reprogram to unlock both doors with one push of the button on the remote. Most times when I click it twice it don't unlock the passenger side unless I hit it again. Maybe I'm hitting it too fast the first time.
Thanks
God Bless

I did see that option but on mine i don't have Evic, so I have hit a bunch of buttons on the Remote to change it, you can set it to unlock all doors upon first hit and yes if you hit it 2 fast, sometimes it does not unlock all the doors


Remote Unlock The Doors
Press and release the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter once to unlock the driver’s door (If EVIC is setup for driver door first, otherwise this will unlock all doors), or press the unlock button twice within five seconds to unlock all doors. The turn signal lights will flash to acknowledge the unlock signal. The illuminated entry system will also turn on. Remote Key Unlock, Driver Door/All Doors First This feature lets you program the system to unlock either the driver’s door or all doors on the first press of the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter. To change the current setting, proceed as follows:

For vehicles equipped with the EVIC, refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/Customer-Programmable Features (System Setup)” in “Under-standing Your Instrument Panel” for further information.

For vehicles not equipped with the EVIC, perform the following procedure:1. Press and hold the LOCK button on a programmed RKE transmitter for at least four seconds, but no longer than ten seconds. Then, press and hold the UNLOCK button while still holding the LOCK button.2. Release both buttons at the same time.3. Test the feature while outside of the vehicle by pressing the LOCK/UNLOCK buttons on the RKE transmitter with the ignition switch in the OFF position and the key removed.4. Repeat these steps if you want to return this feature to its previous setting.
NOTE:
Pressing the LOCK button on the RKE transmitter while you are inside the vehicle will activate the Vehicle Security Alarm System. Opening a door with the Vehicle Security Alarm System activated will cause the alarm to sound. Press the UNLOCK button to deactivate the Vehicle Security Alarm System

Asur- You are right. I am wrong. It is done with the FOB. Page 68 in user guide: Unlock on first press- To unlock either the drivers side, or all doors, on the first press of the unlock button: press and hold the lock button for at least 4 seconds, but no longer than 10 seconds. then, press and hold the unlock button while still holding the lock button. Release both buttons at the same time.

Have the dealer do it. That's the easy way that it was done in the "good old days".

I have been having some what of the same problem with my Ram
Both the door unlock with the FOB & my garage door opening using the button in the Rams overhead console, it use to work with 1 quick press of the button. Now it sometimes takes several.

With the Fob, if it didn't unlock after a couple clicks, i would click the Lock button, or the Start button, then go back to the Unlock button again.
Just the other day, i held the button for a bit longer than usually, all of a sudden the doors unlocked, it must have been searching for the signal

Then i tried the same method with my garage door, it works 90% of the time now
I was getting tired of digging out & using the Sears Remote to open the garage door, when i had that button on the console
