Check the voltage of the new battery and make sure the cables are on the battery are making good contact. Don't assume that because they are tight that the contact is good.

And also don't assume that the replacement battery is fully charged. Put a charger on it.

You have to re-index the windows. Directions are in the owners manual.

If the car starts, then by definition, it is recognizing the fob.

That still means that the car is programmed to accept that fob. If it works in the slot but not otherwise, the first thing to check is power within the fob....bad battery, improperly installed battery.
