				Alarm question - Alarm remote not locking car
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			Hi all, 
I recently purchased my 01 S and the PO had a lot of work done prior to me buying it.  One of the things the shop did was to replace the alarm control module and reprogram.  So far...no problems.  Doors / trucks opened / unlocked properly.
 
Today I replaced the battery in the key / remote today and went to unlock the doors.  The doors did not unlock and the front / rear trunks did not open.      
I used the key to unlock the door and after about 20 seconds the alarm went off.  I used the key to start the car and the alarm stopped.  However I also noticed that the lock light was illuminated on the dash.  
 
I have tried several more times to use the fob and nothing happens.
 
Any ideas or things I should try?  I remember on some car I had a long time ago, that when you replaced the battery in the remote, you had to go through a procedure for your remote to relearn it's codes.  Is this the case with the Boxster?
