i wanna say you have to do it through Tech2. not to postive. I know alot of the cars can be done that way. or hold lock/unlock both at same time. theres and order to do it but ant remember. its been a while.

when you replace the battery you shouldn't have to relearn the fobs. pull the fob apart again and make sure you didn't damage the connectors that hold the battery in. they are extremely easy to break and if they do then the fob won't work. if you are still under warranty the dealer should cover this for you

Just had mine replaced under warranty.
The sloder jont for the battery connection in it was cracked .
The Dealer seemed to know exactly what it was and showed me so it must be a common thing.
So get it replaced under warranty.
They also need the other one(spare fob) at the time of reprogramming the new one.

If you do have to get one re-programmed, it is a quick procedure, don't let them charge you more than a half-hour of labor to do it.

Ya you have to do it with a tech 2, you go into boday then go threw your year and everythign then go to remote control door lock reciever, then it will ask you to add to next open slot, press OK, then hold lock and unluck, If you dont have a tech 2 take it to a dealership lol

I'm having this problem as well. Replaced the battery due to it not working, now still won't work. What's a "fob" and why is it this much trouble just to make the remote work again? I don't get it. :/
