Key debacle on my “new” basket case 😊

I bought a fun “project”/basket case 2004 4.4i a few weeks ago and I’m working through sorting issues. When I bought it, the battery was dead and removed so I didn’t know what I didn’t know.

As it turns out, I have two fob keys for the car. Neither locks/unlocks the car remotely, so I’m assuming it’s either a programming or battery issue in both of them.

One opens the drivers door and does not even spin in the ignition.

The other starts the car but does not even spin in the door lock.

Ultimately I want to end up with two keys that I can use to lock/unlock remotely, lock/unlock the drivers door and start the car. Is that too much to ask??

I’m guessing that someone changed the ignition switch/key at some point (?) which would give me the situation with two physically differently cut keys but I’m going to leave that to you to help me figure out 😂.

Based on the info about what do I need to do to get from my current state to having two fully functional keys?

Thanks!!
