Keyless entry stopped working

I tried using the key to unlock the doors and it did not work. A red LED on the key would blink every time I press a button. I replaced the batteries and it is still the same problem. Any idea what happened? Thanks in advance.

Take it to zee shop. They'll replace it. The key to my E did the same thing a few weeks ago, they replaced the batteries but it still didn't work. They got me a new one.

found the problem!!

I was looking at the wrong battery....my car battery died. I put it on the charger for a couple hours. The car started and everything seems to be fine. Thanks again for the help.
