5. No and NO. I suspect your 12 volt battery is dead. Call AAA--they can replace it,no problem.

Once you do, your fobs with their (assuming functional) new batteries will work.

I should mention that if your 12 volt was totally dead, you will have to drive around for about an hour before your electronics reset. So, don't be alarmed if once it is started your onboard monitor screens are all screwed up. They will reset.
