I lost the key I always use, and the spare key starts the truck, but it shuts off a few seconds later. Both the key I lost, and the spare key fobs don't work. But the spare key fob has nothing inside it. Was wondering how I can use the spare key to drive because this is my only vehicle?

You might have to get a mobile locksmith out to program a new key from you, it should cost about $200.00 but can I ask if the security light is flashing? If not, then it is not a security issue. Please check out this guide:

Also, you might want to try a hard system reboot. Please check out this guide to tell you how:
