To get your remote # AL72704 to work properly, you will need to sync it since the battery was replaced. To sync the remote use the following steps:

1. Turn ignition on.
2. Locate the sync wire in the wire harness of your Air Compressor. It will be the yellow wire that is looped with a yellow cap around it.
3. Remove the yellow wire from the cap leaving the cap attached to the harness.
4. Disconnect power to the receiver. Unplug the connector on the top.
5. Connect power to the receiver while grounding the sync input.
6. Listen for 3 clicks of the internal solenoid, then one click every second. This will indicate that you are now in the “sync mode”. Sync mode will last for 30 seconds total. Within the 30 seconds press any button on the transmitter to send a message to the receiver. Once the receiver has received a message it will sync with that transmitter and stop clicking the solenoid in 1 second intervals.
7. Reinsert the yellow wire terminal into the molded cap.

I replaced the batteries in my remote and yes I know u need to sync it but when u press the buttons it doesnt light up or turn on , thats needs to be on before u can sync it ? Correct ? So if it doesnt turn on its broken ?

If you press and hold the up and down arrows for 5 seconds, the remote should enter settings mode. If it doesn't, then either the batteries were installed incorrectly or the remote # AL72704 is bad and needs to be replaced. You can check out the attached installation instructions for further help.
