Default keyless entry problem, please help

so last night i changed all my wood trim for carbon pieces which means i took off all my door panals and now my keyless wont work? wtf? everything else works properly (ie door locks, windows) but now nothing happens when i press the door locks/unlock or trunk doesnt open either. althought the red light comes on in the remote itself? any ideas guys?

i know it seems weird but go back and double check all connections are complete....IF u have a local member and he's cool with it you could "borrow" his door ecu's or his remote ecu and eliminate those as the cause

I agree. You must have left something undone.
