you need a lock smith. guy i called years ago had flat rod shaped like a double U, wedge in the out side window, put the tool down there then came back up with it on the inside of the glass, then there was another loop that went right to the door lock, guy was in my truck in less then 2 minutes. took longer to get the rod and wedge out of his truck.

Not sure if it's true for all years of NBS, but on my '05 pulling on the inside door handle while it's locked does nothing. Have to unlock first.

You might try removing the battery from the remote and putting it back in to see if that resets what you did, but most likely a locksmith is your best option. As others mentioned, while you have him there, have him go ahead and re-pin either the door or the ignition so they match.
instead try cleaning it with at lest 90-99% Iso alcohol I cleaned my fob it can go about 200 feet distance now.... before the unlock button would not work very well at all, you would have to be a few feet away and try a bunch of times for it to do anything

use a q tip

To wrap this up, I pulled the fob battery (several times) as was suggested and waited for a few minutes and finally on like the 5th try, viola, the fob worked again! I then went to a locksmith as was also suggested and it turns out when the car was stolen the entire front door lock assembly was literally gone (all the clips, rods, etc.), so I don't even know how anyone would have unlocked it (though I'm sure there must be a way).

Thanks for all the help guys!
