Could be that the FOBs are no good or possibly they need to be reprogrammed.

Check your owners manual to reprogram. If this is unsuccessful you may need to purchase new ones. I believe eBay is probably the best source for these or you can check with some of the venders here.

There is a procedure printed in the owners manual to "re-learn" the key fobs to the car.
Try this: stand at the left front tire, hold down both the lock & unlock buttons on the fob until the horn beeps. If the horn has not beeped in 30 seconds, you will need to re-learn the fobs through the DIC (Driver's Information Center).
You didn't tell us what year your Corvette is - some years (2000) have a very specific fob for that year only. Check to see that you received the correct fob.
