For the lighting issue, have you checked all of the fuses?

For the locking issue did the FOB work before the interior lighting issue?

Yeah I've new batteries in the fob and I've had no issues with anything else apart from that fact that my alarm keeps going off I've had the siren horn disconnected for the time being as I've think it's got something to do with my retractable fin not working but I think that's down to water seal problems but now I'm thinking fuse for for that to . I'm a new owner of couple 2005 made up with it but need to understand
it more .
best car I've ever driven .

HMM... you have several systems on the car not working.

1) How old is the battery?
2) Have you took the rear inner panels out to look for water in the central locking system?
3) Any other things not working on the car?
4) Any aftermarket accy's on the car?

When the batteries have been dead for some time you have to reset the fob so that the car recognizes it.
Click for the list of Crossfire resets.

I recently came back to Florida after 6 mos. Reconnected my battery in my 08 Crossfire roadster started right up and started driving without issue. Then noticed interior and trunk light don’t work. Also noticed key fob won’t lock or unlock doors. Put new batteries in key fob.Checked for blown fuses. Convertible top won’t go down either most likely because deck lid won’t lock? Appreciate any help here.

On my 2008 fuse 9 is for the control unit air bag. Fuse 13 is for roof light,horn,alarm,trunk light and tire pressure. Both are ok. I keep seeing articles about the central locking pump located in the trunk?
