I took the battery out of the truck and replaced it, went to start it and it wouldn't start. I noticed the antisocial on the sash panel. The dealership said to turn key on for ten minutes then turn off do that three times pull key out and then turn it on and the light should be off and truck should start. It didn't. Please help i am stuck in a grocery store parking lot.

I am attaching this process below from the manual because that is not exactly what you need to do. If all you did was remove the battery then that process should work.

If it does not then we need to check for codes and find out if there are any pointing us to another issue.

However, I included the 10 minute and 30 minute process. Let's do each of them exactly as it says to do. Clearly the 10 minute process needs a scan tool so if you don't have that then try it without the tool then move onto the 30 minute process. Thanks
