I tried both keys and they both turn on but the car wont start. No the check engine light is not on. I drove to a store, when I came out couldnt get the remote to work. I changed the batteries & resynced the remotes still nothing. Does anyone know what the black button is for under the drivers side dash?

The black button under the dash does it look factory?It sounds like a aftermarket alarm vallet button to temporally disable the alarm.Also have you tried taking apart the remotes and cleaning the inside of the buttons?Are they factory remotes or for a aftermarket alarm system?
