        I bet you had a fuel leak under the car. The leak eventually pooled, and there was a spark from a chafing wire. The fuel ignited and caused the keyless entry's receiver to melt, while leaving no other evidence of the fire.

        Oh, wait. Maybe the battery's just dead. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
