My keyless entry remote quit working for both mine and my wife's remote suddenly. I have to open the car manually then the remote works for about 10 minutes. If the car is left off for longer than that the remote doesn't work. I have replaced the battery in the remote and it didn't help. I tried the relearn menu and it didn't help either. What could be the problem?

Right door gets its power from the breaker in the relay block next to the d/s kick panel. Check all fuses, inside the truck and out with a test light. Might be BCM problem, start basic first

Body control module. Controls most everything in the interior to some degree, for battery run down protection.
