FYI, after a battery is discharged (dead battery), it doesn't just magically recharge itself and work again
Never said I knew what the problem was. I said I knew what it wasn't

Anyways, I think I may have solved this one. Turns out the battery in the key fob was dead or close to. So it must have been sending a really weak signal. The fob would beep like normal but the brain must have had a hard time getting the signal. I was leaving church tonight and the same thing happened. The fob beeped but the car didn't unlock. After a few tries the fob just died and wouldn't beep or do anything. This lead me to my conclusion of a dead or dying battery haha. I ended up using the key to get in my car while the alarm started going crazy. I figured it would just shut off after a while, but nope. It stayed on during my 20 minute drive home on 494 haha. The shitty part of the story is I just remembered the manual alarm shut off button under my dash. wow im an idiot haha.
