04 with non working keyfobs

A while back i posted that when winter hit and it became single digits my keyfobs stopped working and then it warmed up and they worked again. Well its been in the high forties low fifties for two weeks and the keyfobs no longer work. Ive checked the batteries and both are above 3V, I tried to reprogram them to the truck with no response, i checked the manual and there is no listing for a relay or fuse for the keyless system. So whats next? I did install one new battery and that didnt help either, and my wireless door fob does not work either even after a new battery also

You can get a set of those fobs for 10 bucks. I would start with replacing those.

Did the truck go into programming mode when you tried to reprogram the remotes or did nothing happen when it was in program mode and you pushed a button on the remote
