Not a bad idea but, always be careful where you blow the solder. It could end up shorting a tiny connection you can't see.

I'm an automotive locksmith. When the Fobics came out an aftermarket company made 4 different ones our cost was $300 for each type. Now they are $600-$900. I couldn't do this repair and offer a warranty so I would have to replace it but this seems like a good fix for a DIY guy.

Man, you just saved me 1000$ cad. Had the same problem, went to dealership and of course they charged a full hour for diagnosis (179$ + tax= 225$). These C..k Su...r. wanted 883$ for the part + 1 hr of work to change it on top of the inspection price. Anyway, I refused, searched youtube and found your video! I did what another person suggested here, cleaned everything with the pressure of the contact cleaner (very low pressure) and so far it is working like a charm. If problem happens again, then I will remove the welding and separate for a better clean up. A huge thanks to you and a thousand thumbs down to Ram (Dodge) dealerships.

Definitely going to do this to my ram this weekend. Im not a mechanic but Id say I'm pretty mechanical. When my ram was having This issue , first thing I thought was it's either a issue with the key or the ignition node. I brought it to a local mechanic to see what he would say. Dude told me it was my transmission and I needed a new transmission. WTF hahaha , oh it is huh? Ok yea I'll be back lol

in hindsight do u think that just opening the win module in half and spraying it down with contact cleaner, aiming the straw at the contacts, without de-soldering would have been sufficient? maybe turn the key to different positions and spray it to make sure to get it all real good. btw thanks for demonstrating what the issue was, that's exactly what I've experienced on our 08' town & country, but only twice in about the last 6 months but ima gonna guess its gonna get worse so i want to nip the issue in the butt asap!

I used contact cleaner after cleaning with an eraser. The cleaner melted the coating on the circuit board. I don’t think the cleaner is needed. Don’t pull the board too hard when desoldering. I broke one of the wires on one of the pins. I was able to repair my mistake. I used a 1/16 inch drill bit to clean out the 5 holes in the board before reassembly. Made it a lot easier. Switch works like a champ now.

I have replaced my WIN module on a 2011 town and country. It failed again with a no start condition and security light flashing. Fobiks still operate all functions except remote start and when actually used in the switch. Does the wiper contact issue cause a security system lock down? Weighing my options before tearing the dash out again.
