Btw battery is fine. New battery in fob too.
There are some moving parts inside that make contact with some internal limit switches. If the parts have moved around so that they are not making good contact with the limit switches, the car won't start.

Cycling the ESCL will probably fix things but no guarantees.

I've bought batteries that were DOA but I don't think that's your problem.
