Replacement Keyless Entry Remotes for 2000 Dodge Trucks, SUVs and Vans

A customer needed to know what the correct replacement is for her 2000 Dodge Durango. She had purchased one part from a competitor, but had to return it. It looked like the correct part but did not work for her Dodge SUV. This can be a problem when you are buying a replacement factory keyless entry remote, not just for Chrysler/Dodge vehicles, but for Ford, GM, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota and many other makes as well. There are many look-a-like keyfobs that do not have the same electronics inside them. And many web sellers rely too heavily on visual display and catalog pages for product selection rather than using a search engine that will get you to a definitive application specification.

Any way, the correct replacement remote for a 2000 Dodge Durango is Chrysler/Dodge part number 56045497AC. (If you have an older remote for a 2000 Durango, it could have a different part number on it. Chrysler changes part numbers like you and I change clothes.) This is a 3-button remote. The Remotes Unlimited part number for it is 377-1377. In addition to the 2000 Dodge Durango, this keyfob was used on the 2000 Dakota and 200 Ram pickup trucks.

See Chrysler part 56045497AC at this link.

A very similar-looking but different remote was used on the 2000 Dodge Caravan and Grand Caravan. Those vans used Remotes Unlimited part 355-1355. See the Caravan remote at this link.

Finally, the 2000 Dodge Ram Van used a 2-button remote that did not have the panic feature. See that remote at this link.
