It ran for 3 minutes showing the brake light and battery light then completely died. It started

It sounds like you have a dead battery or bad alternator. Fully charge the battery and have it load tested. Most parts stores will do it for free. Next, have the alternator checked. Again, most parts stores will do it for free. Something tells me the alternator is bad and not providing the power to keep the engine running.
