The black contacts wear and can get dirty...cheapest check is to buy the replacement case only... at your auto parts store...this comes with new buttons (black contacts)...about $14.99...has worked for me, hope you have the remote guts that came with your Dakota...:) Insert your guts into the new case using the new buttons with your old circuit board in the new case.
