Alarm remote wont work!

Okay two days ago I noticed that my alarm remote completely stopped working. I cant lock, unlock, or open the truck with the remote. At first I thought it was just the battery on the remote so I bought so new batteries at Long Drugs... put it in and STILL NO LUCK! I really dont know what it is... I'm thinking it could be a blown fuse or something. But what fuse is it? I open the hood and looked for the alarm fuse but cant find it.
Where is it located at!? Any suggestions or input is considered! HELP ME YALL! thanks

I tried the reset trick, still no luck also. I think I have to buy another remote. (yes I was pressing the door ajar switch 3 times on the rear door).

Does anyone know if there are any other resets or known issues with the factory alarm?
