Default 05' Ultra security system troubles need help

On my 2005 Ultra I have the old push the fob security system and am having some troubles. I've google the symptoms and found no answers, I am hoping some of the gurus on here can help me. I am not able to engage the security system it's like the key fob batteries are dead, I have tried both fobs with a new battery. If I turn the ignition on and off and push the button on the fob occasionally the lights will blink once and that's it. I'm looking for suggestions to try.

So far I have tried new battery in fobs, disconnected the bike battery and rehooked it up. Neither made any difference.

Thanks in advance for the help.
I posted this on another forum as well, looking for help before I start pulling my hair out. lol

Did you try reassigning the fob?

KEY FOB ASSIGNMENT

The key fob on TSSM motorcycles must be set so it will operate the alarm system on the vehicle.
This assignment must be completed with no pauses between steps greater than 10 seconds.
Turn the ignition OFF after all key fobs have been assigned.
The programming mode will also exit after 60 seconds has elapsed without detecting any fob signup messages
or turn signal switch activity.
Two key fobs may be assigned to the TSSM.
The first successful attempt to program a fob will disable all previously assigned fobs.
If a second fob is to be programmed, it must be done in the same programming sequence as the initial fob.
