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

Check your car's battery. That happened to me and the terminals were coated in corrosion.

Is that a bike rack?

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?
