From the shop

The SKIM on '06–'09 Ram 1500s fails when the theft light flashes and the truck cranks but won't start — usually without warning. This OEM module is tested good. You'll need your dealer or a locksmith to marry it to your existing keys, which takes about 20 minutes. Part number 56040659AJ; 05026221 also fits this generation.

Read the full transcript
Symptoms of a bad skim or scream on your Dodge Chrysler Jeep vehicle. If your vehicle is experiencing a crank no start or a start install issue, listen up. Chrysler's Century Key Emobilizer Module or SKIM is infamous for locking you out. Symptom 1, the engine starts. The engine runs for exactly two seconds, then dies. Symptom 2, a flashing round security light or a crossed out key symbol illuminated on your dashboard. Symptom 3, a crank no start, accompanied by fault code P06, 3, 3, meaning skim key not detected. If your key transponder isn't communicating with the transceiver ring, your engine computer will automatically shut fuel delivery down. Do not replace that PCM just yet. Head on over to my website, try our Fitment tool out or put your make model in gear in the comments and we'll help you find the skim for your vehicle.
