[s-cars] Bad battery - now RF remotes don't work

Any wisdom on this?

the main car battery died....I had it replaced, and found that the RF
remotes no longer work. Strange, since I've had the battery disconnected
many times before without affecting the remotes.

I followed Ian Duff/Frank Amoroso's procedures, at least a dozen times, but
with no luck. Yes, I put a fresh 2032 in the remote. Yes, I tried the
remote from various places around the car. I did try to
disconnect/reconnect the main car battery as well, just in case the RF
receiver locked up somehow. I also tried the new switchblade key
registration procedure, but that didn't work either.

WTF? Suggestions welcomed.

thanks,
