Have you tried a little WD40 or equivalent? Squirt from the outside and work the button a few times?

May be a short term fix, but cheap.

Yea Dave,I tried that.it feels like something like a spring maybe has broken.if i rotate and screw with it it will push in and out smoothly....then all the sudden you push it in and it locks up like it is filled with sand.

I'll guess you need a new switch, but that is a guess.

Call Tator's Dodge or Parts Rack. They can likely answer the question and sell you the part too.

as per tator.....compressed air first followed by a small shot of WD40...ya might need to work it a little but it does fix it.

worked 2 years ago for me

Mine has been getting a bit sticky so I will do this when I get her back from underground.

This may not fix the button issue but I had a car alarm company install remote door openers for mine so no need for the button on the door.

Unless the keyfob battery dies

pretty cool. do you need a different fob for each door? what brand did they use?

A differant fob due to the new alarm which is the Viper 791XV model I believe. He used the auxilary buttons to pop both doors open on the Viper key fob. Pretty cool setup.
