Default help...please 98 E320 remote not working

Hi everybody,
Please help... Yesterday I tried to open the car with the remote and it didn't work. I opened the door with the mechanical key and I sticked the key in the dash bord...nothing. Usually makes a zooom sound and I can turn the key. I called the dealer and they recommend to change the battery in the remote or to try the second remote. I did both...nothing. I called again and they told me to disconnect the (-) from the battery for half hour. Did it... connect it...nothing. Road Side Assistance came and check if the car battery is good... very good, and they left. Following is a list of things that are still working or not working
-brake lights-not working
-head lights-working
-radio-working(after reentering the code)
-trunk release button center console-not working
-lock and unlock on center console-working
-alarm (after lock manualy and open door)-working
-none of the buttons on remote are working including the panic button

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Thank you for responding Sleepwalker,
I am realy desperate because I cannot use the car this weekend. All dealerships and garage repair are closed.
I tried several times to synchronize the key the way they say in the book. It didn't work. The car is not communicate with the key. I left the key in the dashbord for several hours. Nothing! It acts like is not the key for this car!!!

so the key doesn't work.

try another key. maybe the one you are using is faulty.

check fuses especially the one for the central locking pump (pse).

your ignition switch got transponder?

leaving it in the dashboard cannot change anything.

Thanks Sleepwalker,
Problem was partially solved...I left the key in the console and I disconnect the negative of the battery several times. I think that I drive nuts the computer because finally I heard the zoom noise and I was able to turn the key and start the car. Both keys are working fine now like nothing happened. To bad that my Memorial Day weekend was screwed...
