Default Key Fob Inconsistant Function

Yesterday I pushed the unlock button on my fob twice. Every other time I have done this the passenger door and trunk unlock. This time it did not. Only the passenger door unlocked.

What I have done:
~Read the owner's manual.
~A search on this site and Internet in general.
~Read the Common Crossfire Problems section (of very valuable information).
~Checked appearance of all fuses.
~Replaced the fob batteries. Now the red bulb will shine when programming. I am not sure it did before.
~Synchronized the key to the car with no change. I did this by two presses while pointed at the mirror and by the procedure of putting key in ignition and pushing the tabs then flipping the switch
to on.
~I have followed the directions to go from drivers door only opening with one click to what should have opened everything and back. I may have gotten the fob to switch which single door would respond but was not successful in getting both to. In no setting could I get the trunk to respond. I have gotten the gas filler to respond.
~The passenger side interior header lamp comes on in response to the fob but not the drivers side. I have not checked if a bulb burned out or even if I can control this.
~The car responds with two flashes and three flashes at different times and the alarm light on the dash flashes and indicates the alarm is engaged when locked by the fob.

~I have not checked for dampness in the truck (and do not know how to get given the conflicting suggestions - but do have the Roadster tool thanks to MrMiata).
~I have not replaced fuses that looked good.
~I have not checked to see if the top will raise.
~I do not hear the firm sound of the truck release making an effort but may have heard a light something drivers side rear.
~The locking portion of the alarm system works as intended. The siren is weak to silent.


I use my Crossfire infrequently and think something may have gotten confused between the fob and what it speaks to. The system performed flawlessly until yesterday.

My inclination is to undo the negative to the battery let it set for an hour or so to see if that resets something. Any warnings or suggestions ?

The weather is going to be great this weekend and I would like to get her out and into it.

Thanks in advance.
