SITUATION: "The battery in my truck died and after replacing it with a new one, now nothing works with my keyless entry/remote start.  The remote is on and when I push the remote start button the antenna signal is displayed in the top corner. It will not lock or unlock my truck either.  I have tried replacing the battery in the remote and still nothing.  Is there a way to reset everything and try re-programming?  Any assistance is appreciated."
