Default Ford Edge KEY fob stopped working after fob battery replacement

Just replaced the CR2025 battery on ONE of my 2 key fob Push buttons starts and now it doesn't work .. NO lock / unlock / remote start. Has anyone else had this problem with their 2015 Ford Edge? So currently I have only one working Fob...
Also when trying remote start, the key fob blinks 3 times but nothing happens.
And No KEY DETECTED on the dash even when putting the fob into the backup slot inside the center console.
Tried with several different batteries.. no changes

When you go to purchase replacement little batteries, read the date on the packaging some are pretty old . They are supposed to be good until a certain date, but that is not always true. You will notice some have been on the shelf for over 5 years.

Yes, the other FOB still works.. They are both OEM fobs that came with the vehicle.
