unlock car. hold indicator stalk in flash to pass mode. turn ignition key to position 1, flash headlamps 4 times. press lock button on remote 5 times[or if more than 1 remote 2 times on one 3 times on other, so total presses add up to 5] . turn off ignition take out key. shut door try the remote. may take a couple of goes it did on my 98 xjr. if this do not work try the same but with the drivers door open.

Obviously try a new battery in the fob (I now see you've done that already)
You have to follow the 'How To' instructions precisely regarding the driver's door or it won't work.
BTW I've merged your two threads - having two on the go is unproductive for you.
