Get your key, try locking/unlocking the driver's door three times in a row. That should reset the UEM--it appears yours has frozen up (the UEM controls the keyfob reception as well as the courtesy lights.

The UEM is an electronic module located inside your rearview mirror. The reset procedure is the one I mentioned above. I'll bet that since the battery went flat, it is now reset and should operate fine.
