Default Remote Entry no longer works

Just recently, my remote entry quit working. I tested the batteries in the remote. They were good. I still replaced them and nothing. This is what does work. Inserting the key in the door lock, the key does lock and unlock the car including the trunk. Is there any checks I can do to verify what is broken? I don't want to yank the SKREEM yet until I have a better idea of the issue. I would rather just send a key to get it duplicated.

That can be caused by water in the trunk area, under the floor, affecting the vacuum pump. Do you park outdoors? Is it a coupe or a roadster? It can happen to either, but is more common with roadsters. I would also check the fuses.

Fuse 9 is good as SKREEM shares the same power as the overhead light and that works. I do park outside and it's a roadster. I have problems with water in the trunk in the past but that has been mostly resolved. It has not rained in a while in SC. But I will pull the liner so I can verify that the trunk is dry and check on the top pump.

Did you replace the pump and connecters, as they also become corroded.

Have tried the reset process for the fob?
Maybe it's just out of sync.

personally, I am always out of synch. This is a good suggestion and got me further in the service manual. I learned something new:

KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Note: If the transmitter unlock button has been pressed repeatedly while out of range of the receiver, synchronization
may have to be restored. To do so, perform the Transmitter Programming procedure in this
section.
The programming procedure as follow:
​​​​​​​STANDARD PROCEDURE - TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING
The Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter(s) can be programmed by the customer without special tools.
PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE
Transmitter programming by the customer is done by performing the following steps:
1. Insert the key into the ignition switch.
2. Press either the lock or unlock button momentarily twice.
3. Turn the key in the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position within 30 seconds
I will give this a try and report back.

It's probably not the CLP since your locks are working with the key - i.e., the vacuum pump is working and getting a signal from the BCM (?) telling it to unlock the other door and truck (drivers side is manually unlocked using the key).
