Replaced the remote's battery; no change.
Could it be a fuse or a relay?
Any DIY helpful hints?
TIA!!

Just checking... did the remote used to work on the car before the battery died? If so, then a new battery should restore function. If not, then you could try reprogramming the remote(s) to the car.
1997 855 GLT (Light Pressure Turbo) still going strong. Previous: 1986 240 GL rusted out in '06, 1985 Saab 900T rusted out in '95, 1975 Saab 99 rusted out in '95, 1973 Saab 99 rusted out in '94

Try manually locking and unlocking the driver's door with the key and try again. Sometimes the remote locking system can get confused. Long shot but simple to try.

As suggested you can try reprogramming the key, but I would also re-check the new battery is good and the contacts are fitting correctly.
