Here’s the thing I mentioned to check the voltage, though if the battery is drained so much that the door won’t open, I don’t know what good it will do with push button start.

A parasitic drain that makes the battery go flat once is enough to ruin a flooded lead acid starting battery, they’re really only meant to turn the starter and energize the alternator.
You would think that there would be a better way to manage all the wireless functions, keep the battery at a level of charge to where it’s not damaged and preserving enough power to actually start the truck and drive it.
Is there only one battery in these trucks, or is there a second one? I know some auto top start systems have a motorcycle battery hidden underneath the regular battery. Euro cars have had second batteries in the trunk for a while now. Sometimes, electronic gremlins can be solved by swapping out the auxiliary battery.
