After 12 flawless years, no key detected from either FOB on 2014 Edge Limited?

[Uncoiler]

Bought this car new 2014 and the FOB’s with factory remote start have worked great, 100,000kms or about 60,000 miles now. Here is what I have eliminated:

- it’s not a location issue, started fine in my driveway or anywhere else for 12 years

- neither of the two factory fobs work, new Duracell 2032 lithium batteries at 3.3 volts, all contacts cleaned

- removed the 12V car battery last night(8 years old) and installed a brand new one today, so it sat overnight with no battery if anything needed to reset.

 

Now the funny thing is it started acting a little funny earlier this week. Like the door lock/unlock would work sometimes but not other times, and the remote starter would not work, then it would. It was hit and miss for a few days. Right now it’s not working so I have to put the FOB in the console slot to start it. Also I looked under the hood for any type of switch/pin, like the aftermarket remote starters have, but I don’t see one, but I was thinking if it thinks the hood is released it may not remote start the car, but I dunno?

 

1- Is there a way for me to try resetting the fobs? 

 

2- Will hooking up my Blue Driver tool tell me anything? There are no check/indicator lights on, but I have not really used the Blue Driver tool yet, so not much experience with it. 

 

3- Any other ideas that I can try? I’m all ears, LOL. Thanks.

So:

• Pressing a button to lock/unlock/remote start doesn't work from outside the vehicle?
• Proximity unlock/lock (pulling on door handle with key near to unlock, pressing button on door handle with key near to lock) doesn't work?
• Proximity to liftgate open (pushing button in pull opening with key near) doesn't work?
• Once in the vehicle, with key fob, pressing start button says no fob found until you use the emergency slot?

Not related to the issue, but you shouldn't clean the dielectric grease off the contacts, most of these remotes have text that says not to.
