First make sure that the battery is in the fob correctly. When removing the battery you only have a very short time before it looses it's code with the anti-theft on your car. Maybe the key fob has lost it's code. It's easy to reset the fob: put key into ignition, turn and press button on fob for about 6 seconds. This should re-set the code in the fob to the anti-theft device in the ignition.
