2007 key fob - original fobs

I have a key fob issue. None of the functions will work on either key fob. (Yes new batteries in both)

ive looked through the forums and everyone says a tech 2 scanner is needed to reprogram a fob. These are the original key fobs tho. I don't necessarily need a re program but a relearn.

I think the 08+ have a relearn feature within the odo/cluster but I'm not seeing this on my 07.

i believe, but someone correct me if I'm wrong. I think the battery went dead in the car and caused this key fob issue. But not 100% sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even tho I'm a dodge man, I love my vette and this hhr seems like a wonderful daily for me.

thanks
-Phil

Welcome to the site, check the battery cage , they are known to break, a simple job to solder .
My 2007 had dead main battery issues, it did not mess up my key fobs!


And here's some pictures of the repair

I was afraid the dead Main battery was inaccurate.

But yes. One of the key fobs is broken on the inside. I plan on fixing that later today..

im really not sure what's wrong with the other one.. I think I seen somewhere to check #56 fuse under the hood?
