Try the remotes at a different location, mine work done from everywhere else except where I park my car at work.

This is quite a common occurrence actually.
Faulty nearby door bell or microwave,
Other things that can cause this are :-
And these are actual cases......

chap with a ZR had a key remote die.
Had a new one, it died in a day. Turns out he worked as security or something in Dartford tunnel. Where did he keep his car keys? Top pocket of his jacket. Right next to his radio two way thing. Radio signal blew it.

Chap always had problems when parked at work. He worked next door to a taxi firm. Their radio signal blew his remote signal out. Too much power that blanked the remote signal.

And that, Ladies and Gentleman is one of the reasons Australia uses 315MHz.
I remember when remotes first came in. Supermarket carparks were full of RAAC or AAA vans because customers could not open their cars.
Why you ask?
Because most supermarkets over there have SES ( State Emergency Services) radio booster towers on their roof! That blows any 413MHz signal from a car remote out of the water !

But glad the OP is sorted
