If they installed a new Alarm ECU, chances are that it will have to be programmed with the code from your key fob. Unless you have the original paper tag that came with the key fob when it was new, I think you are going to have to buy a new one and have the code from the new one programmed into the ECU. Between the price of a new key fob and programming, expect to pay about $200. Also, don't throw away your old key fob! Hang onto it for the outer casing or offer the casing for sale here to help someone out that needs one.

Also, it's possible that when the Alarm ECU died it shorted out putting power to the drivers door lock solenoid and the gas door solenoid burning them out. Those could be casualties of the Alarm ECU failure...

Just guessing here...
