need direction with remote entry 2008 LT

Hey guys,I could use some help here if its available.Wifey borrowed my car yesterday,trying to save mileage on hers(Shes getting a new Equinox) Anyway she left the headlights on and the battery went dead.She called AAA to get a jump and after they got it jumped she noticed that the power steering was out.Luckily he was close to a dealership and they replaced a power steering fuse.Today I noticed that my remote won't lock or unlock the car and the tire pressure monitors have gone offline.Is this simply a reprogramming issue and can I do it myself without having to give a dealer 75.00 for about 2 minutes work?Any ideas are appreciated. I did a search but nothing came up Its a 2008 LT

Not totally sure, but if they jumped the car incorrectly they may have blown more than just the power steering fuse. I have heard that one of the ones under the hood blows easily when jumped wrong. I would check those first. Sorry I can't be more help.

If it's under 36K it's fixed for free.

The tires you can reprogram, maybe. The fobs no. I would unhook the positive cable for about 30 minutes and hook it back up and see what you got. If they still don't work call the dealer that did the fuse and see what they will do to help you out.

The remote system and tire pressure system use the same radio receiving unit. I had a dead battery one time and they stopped working. It had to be reprogrammed by the dealer.
