Since changing my car battery yesterday in my 2002 Dodge Durango, my fob for remotely locking/unlocking the doors doesn't work. Any ideas?

The anti-theft (and possibly SKIM) system have lost their memory when you changed the battery. You'll need to take the vehicle to a Chrysler dealer and have the key fobs "re-learned" to the vehicle. AFAIK, this can only be done with a scan tool, and the dealer must contact Chrysler to get what is called a "PIN" number to use in conjunction with the scan tool to reprogram the key fobs. Just make sure you take ALL the fobs you have to be programmed, you can't do one at a time, they must all be done at the same time. HTH!! Good Luck!!

make sure drivers window is down[so you cant get locked out] lock drivers door with key and at same time hold lock button on remote. make sure you are using a factory cut master key [not a valet key] then try unlocking car with remote if this works this remote will have a functions back working but you will have to repeat for the second remote to be recognized . good luck.
note:
some times this takes several tries.

LOL.
I know this isn't a great answer to the question you asked but to me, FOB means Fresh off the Boat. So I just started laughing when I saw "FOB doesn't work after battery change.?"
LMAO!

check your owner's manual. you might have to enter a code through your radio.
typically, access codes for the radio also enters codes for the car's CPU and security system.
Honda keeps it's codes in the glove compartment.
