    Again, just trying to be helpful. first thoughts - the new battery is upside down in the fob, or, the new battery has a clear plastic piece on it (they can be hard to see) preventing a connection, or, battery type does not match the original, or, try the steps in post #4 here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/key-fob-stopped-working.333436/

    good luck, sorry for your frustration and welcome to the forum.

    Battery correct size, no plastic on battery, new battery tested at 3.19 volts, PLUS side is up, tried in the two key fobs that came with the Tacoma, both dead.
