Now here's what I've tried: 1. Tried both key fobs with new batteries. Doesn't fix the problem so I know it's not a battery or fob issue. 2. I soldered on replacement connections on the CCM for pins 9, 11, and 13 on the 15-pin plug going into the CCM as these were the most damaged connections. According to this site:
But the remote key can also stop working due to worn buttons, poor battery contact, water damage, defective key fob, receiver module issues, signal interference, dead 12 volt battery, and unpaired key requiring reprogramming. 1.

• Press any button on the remote control. • Pressing of the button means that the door will unlock with the key. within 1 minute." I am not 100% sure what I need to do but this is what I've tried: Test 1. pressed any buton then unlocked the car manually with the key. Then locked the car with the remote. Unlock still doesn't work
That will get the key working again so long as its not faulty. Other than that - you will have to have the system checked diagnostically - Sometimes the key will only work when programmed with diagnostic equipment - or, the tests will tell you if the key is indeed faulty and then you will need to replace it..
