Key fob stopped working

Hello, my key fob stopped working.  I changed the battery, and it still didn't work.  I took it to the Ram dealer, and they say it is for another vehicle.  That's impossible because until recently it worked.  Has anyone experienced this or have suggestions?  A new key fob is expensive...  2023 Ram Promaster 3500 van conversion (Coachmen Nova).

Did you get the key fob wet at some point?

Is that your only key? You're always supposed to have a spare key that's in a known place in case you lose your primary one. 

Read in your owner's manual about changing batteries in your key fob. If it needs to be reprogrammed after the battery dies, it will tell you there. 

A good automotive locksmith that is licensed and bonded is a good alternative to the dealership. It will be cheaper, but not dirt cheap. Avoid dealerships at all costs, except for warranty work and recalls.

Have you tried hot wiring your car?
