Key fob in ignition

I just recently purchased a 2013 Ram 3500. Truck starts and runs fine but when I turn the Ignition fob off and pull it out it shows that key fob is in Ignition. I have to wait about 2 or 3 minutes before I can power lock the doors with the fob. The little plastic flap is missing where the key fob goes in the dash. Thank you maybe unit got dusty. Any help would be appreciated.

I have found that hitting the “key switch” with a little contact cleaner sprayed in from
the front, then lubing with wd40 seems to address most of the stiction issues. It has worked for me on several units so far.
