Default Key fobs don't work even with new batteries

The internal lights won't come on now, and the brake is really stiff. We thought the key fob needed new batteries. Neither fob works with new batteries in it. The airbag indicator light on left of steering column is lit up, meaning a system malfunction.

The key was "suspended temporarily" after I left it in the car. It did open the locks, now nothing.

Might be a stupid suggestion but are you sure you have the correct batteries in the keyfob? I guess they should be CR2025 but the CR2032 are very similar in size and can be mistakenly used.

I had used 2032 in an emergency and it worked fine. The battery compartment didn't close tightly but the remote did ok.
