How to Replace a Lost Key for Dodge Van

Replacing the key for your Dodge van depends on the make and year of your van. If the key has the transponder attached and/or a smart chip installed, you may need to visit your nearest Dodge dealer for a replacement. If not, you can bring the spare key to a locksmith to copy.

Things You'll Need

  • VIN (Vehicle Registration Number)
  • Spare key
  • Locate the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of your Dodge van. This may be on the driver's side of your dashboard, right under the hood at the front of your engine, or stamped on the front of your frame near the driver's side wheel, depending on the make and year of your van.

  • If the lost key does not have a smart chip, call several locksmiths to estimate the price of replacing your key. If it does have a smart chip or transponder, call your Dodge dealership.

  • Bring your license, title, registration and VIN to your Dodge dealership, along with a spare key if you have one. Newer models will most likely have a transponder in the key, and only Dodge will be able to replace the key for you.
