    Hi, I'd appreciate your help.

    Replaced dead car battery on my 360. But now not able to start the vehicle since my remote won't deactivate the alarm system. I tried all 3 key fobs I have. I even replaced the batteries in all of the fobs just in case. All the key fobs show light when pressed but doesn't lock/unlock vehicle nor deactivate alarm. Dash LED is not on. Alarm doesn't sound but assume is engaged since vehicle doesn't start.

    Any ideas what I can do to troubleshoot and/or resolve? Or even what I can do as a temporary bypass so I can get the car started & to the dealer?

    Thanks!

    1. Check fuse #74 behind the drivers seat to make sure the fuse isn't blown and associated fuses.

    2. Press the fob a few times.. like 30! To ensure it syncs appropriately.

    3. Take a look at the LED in the dash while you do it. preferrably from the drivers seat to ensure you're within range.

    Start with above if you haven't yet..

    Many thanks. And I should have mentioned that all the electronics work (stereo, windows, etc) so I'm getting good power from the new battery. Just can't get the fobs to respond which is needed to deactivate the kill switch/alarm. I've pressed the fobs like 50 times but will hit them some more tonight. Also, I'll check the fuse 74. Thanks!
