I think you have to reprogram the remote when you take out the battery.. does anyone know how to do the sequence to do it???

Did the batteries in the remote die?... I had my battery disconnected for 2 hours already and my remote still worked with my car...you can test your remote at auto zone

Did you break any contact points?

FOB(s) are notorious for having bad + / - leads break after hundreds of pushings and squishing from use and in your pocket.

Remove the battery and inspect the metal retaining clip/ring thats "soldered" to the circuit board (PCB) . If its broken/loose or disconnected then you can do two things either use proper solder or push the clip down so it makes contact and use some hot glue.

Factory alarm or aftermarket?

I got it fixed, the guy that did the battery put it in and
either didnt check to see if it was working.
i pulled it apart and cleaned it out and then took it back.
another new battery since it was flat...
