If your battery in your Vette is working and you can start the car, try this:

Press and hold down BOTH the lock and unlock buttons for about 10 seconds or so. You should hear the car honk, and things should be back to normal. Do it for each remote. (I have to do this more often than I should.) If it doesn't work, replace the battery in each remote. Hope this helps.
