Ran keyfob through the wash, now car doesnt seem to recognize it.

Hello.

I lost my keyfob for about a week or two, not realizing i'd washed it. I've since disassembled it, wiped it down with rubbing alcohol, and replaced the battery. This fob now locks and unlocks the car via button presses, but won't allow the door to be unlocked via proximity (with key still in the pocket,) nor will it start the car, even if the keyfob is placed against the ignition area of the steering column.

The car battery still reads at 12.X volts. I could really use some help here, maintaining sanity. I really can't afford a tow to a dealer plus reprogramming. Am i out of options? Any suggestions at this point?

Get a replacement from Amazon and program it to the vehicle.
They're relatively inexpensive.
May not get the range or durability of the original.
