Default --reprogram key fob--

So I've been having issues with my key fob...changed the batteries, had both fobs checked out and there fine so there's something wrong with the car then... it would randomly then just stopped working all together so I decided to follow the instructions of locking and unlocking the drivers door and I've tried it 3 times and get it to work but it stops working soon after...what can it be?

pepboys has a display where you point your remote to it and if it's getting a signal the light comes on...it seems like these problems came on after that fuse blew...

the remote would stop working...before it wouldn't open the door lets say and then i'd drive the car get out and it would work to lock it...now it doesn't want to work period...it works fine when i do the program and then next day it'll stop working..

I don't know if it's just me, but I find it hard to follow what you're saying. You're skipping details that you assume we know. For example, which fuse blew?

You should start explaining the symptoms, and the sequence of what transpired from the beginning, including what you have done so far. In detail.

Sorry I'm all over the place...several weeks back I was changing the trunk led light when the bulb sparked and my trunk light went out, couldn't open the trunk or use the remote to lock the car along with other things that I don't remember but I changed it out and it was fine,. Then I would use the remote and it was fine but I noticed it wasn't picking up signal. For example it would unlock the car but not lock it or I'd have to open it with the keg in the lock then the remote would lock it. It would do this randomly. Got to the point it wasn't doing anything at all. I changed the batteries in both key fobs and still nothing, doesn't even work unless I do the programming where you unlock n lock the door 5 times etc. I do that then the remotes work but not for long. I did it again today and within a hour it wasn't working again. Feel like the car is losing signal with the remote.
