If BCM was reflashed or re-programmed they could have hit the save button but by mistake saved a non American BCM flash which has FOB turned off so now it would not show any of the fob setting in options or the train mode.
Or if a P1631 error was tripping then it might turn off as if car did not have the FOB function

Nope..
Boss..
I did turn the key on..
I got the clear display..
But after holding it..(Reset button)..it stayed blank..
The key fobs did work a couple of weeks ago..and little by little..they woundn't work..I replaced 1 of the batteries..the prior owner said he had just replaced them before I bought 'em..
Any other ideas??...
Thanks

Mine was like that, too... barely seemed to work; I was always standing there next to the car repetedly pushing the buttons waiting to hear the doors unlock or see the trunk pop. Finally I took the fob apart, cleaned off the battery contacts (kind of scraped them down with an Xacto knife) and then gently bent the contact a bit so that they make a more solid contact. Then I retrained them and now my fob works resonably well -- it almost always works on the first push, and from much father away.
