Fob won’t open the doors and don’t have the key that comes with the fob. Changed the battery but still no help. Can’t tell if the battery in the car is dead either. ---

Call a locksmith - contact a Hyundai dealer and prove you are the owner - those are 2 options . You only have one FOB ? ---

Once a battery is dead it usually will not be able to provides the full CCA and reserve capacity. Suggest a new battery and have your charging system checked. Along with obtaining keys and a second Fob.
