I left my after market fog lights on in my 2003 Dodge Ram 3.8L pick up truck which resulted in the battery dying. I jump started it and i let it run for about 5 minutes before turning it off. Today I had to jump start it again but it won't stay on, it just putters out. Do I need to do something to reset the computer, if so, what?

Fully bench charge the battery and get it load tested for internal short, check alternator out put voltage, a short run will not re charge the battery.
