Car came with two RKE fobs (the buttons dead or the metal key part dead)

are you saying both fobs fail?
and are the batteries in them fresh,,, they dont last about this long.
and all else on car works, car drives at night perfectly
why must I ask that?>

if both FOBs fail with fresh batteries?
then the car needs to be scanned and fuses in it checked first.

the fob has a battery
the operators guide tells you what to do.
page 25 it tell you,
