my key fob lock unlock and security alarm setting stopped working for either of 2 fobs that were working. The red light in the fob switch lights when pressed so batteries are okay.

Hello, do the manual lock buttons on the doors still work? If so, we may be dealing with a communications issue with the key fob. If this is a push-to-start vehicle, you can hold the key fob to the power button while the ignition in "on" to re-establish a communication pathway to the fob. We can start there.
