Default Another PKE Issue

Hello everyone,
Recently I was able to find myself an original PKE key fob for my 95 vette but have been wrought with troubles and issues. Anyways I can't seem to find the issues on the site that would help me with my issues. Anyways, I followed the instructions in the owner's manual for linking up the fob and the car. After pressing the fuel info button and turning the ignition off the PKE light starts blinking, I bring the key fob to the car but the PKE light continues blinking and eventually goes out 2 minutes later. Broken-hearted I start to walk away from the car but the doors lock and the car honks, excitedly I go back to the car to see if the car will unlock when I get close again, no luck. Pushing buttons on the remote do nothing, try pushing the button to open the back hatch, no luck, holding the door button by the door to activate the PKE system, nothing. I'm at my wit's end trying to figure out what's wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Well, let's start with the fob's battery. Is it new? I seem to remember that it needs to be putting out 3.2 to work reliably. Make sure it's seated correctly, and it should be the Renata CR2450N. This brand can be important because there are slight differences in the way some brands fit. Maybe also look to see if you can find any damage to any of the connections on the board.

What other troubles and issues are you having? That might give us more clues to work with.
