Door Lock Problem


I have a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 ST Quad Cab. And Since I got the truck I've had a problem with locking my doors. I Don't have keyless entry. So, everytime I get out of my truck I rely on the "lock" button on my door. Thing is, sometimes (not always), I hit the lock button and it doesn't respond. It takes about a minute to respond. What could be the problem? Should I take it to the dealership to inspect it?

Is it still under warranty? If not I would take the door panel off, and make sure the connection on the unluck/lock button is secure, maybe it is loose, unplug it and plug it back in and see what that does.

The Bed Armor is actually quite nice. It took a little while to prep the whole bed, but it was well worth the work.

Let us know what you figure out. Some may not agree but this seems like the same issue those of us with remote locks are having with our remotes not working. There is a very long post about this. I have had it where my remote wouldn't work and I had my window down so I reached in and the lock button wouldn't work, let it sit for a short while and it started working. Let us know what they find.

I had the same problem on my 09 1500. It had the factory remote start/keyless entry and sometimes both the remote and the door switch would fail to lock/unlock the doors. Since I have replaced the factory remote start with an aftermarket with 2 way capability, I haven't noticed the problem once, and I tend to still use the factory key to lock/unlock the truck.

I have a 2009 CC and my lock button fails to work pretty often. It acts more like an electronic/computer confusion rather than a switchware problem. I have the remote start keyless entry and many times if I unlock the door with the fob and grab something and quickly try to lock with the switch, it will not work for several attempts. It acts like it has to clear some junk out of memory. It is very irritating, but many things about the 4th Gen irritate me.

Warranty for that is covered under 3yr/36000 mile. Unless you have a service contract then its covered under the length of that contract
