It sounds like your immobilizer/alarm no longer recognizes the fob after all the time since you last ran the car. If the fob worked the last time you ran the car, try a simple resync. to get the alarm to recognize the remote again. Standing near the car, press and hold both buttons on the fob at the same time while watching the small red light on the fob. After holding the two buttons, you will see the light go to solid instead of blinking. Now release the two buttons and press just one button. If the alarm now recognizes the fob again you should see it respond with the proper action to that one button. If that doesn't work, you will have to go through the detailed programming as described in the first post on this thread: http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f129/how-program-key-fob-17358/
