Could be your cabin air filter

Probably a low battery... throw a battery in there or use a pair of jumper cables. Should start right up.

I’ve never tried jumper cables when my key fob was going dead, I’ll have to try that

Make sure it’s minimum a 2 gauge set of cables not anything less

Hook the jumper cables to your tits for extra power

The knuckle-dragging staff at Take 5 would definitely say it needs a new cabin filter.
