After recharging my dead battery, the car will start for a second and then shut off. It acts like something in the computer is shutting it down. Is there a reset code of some sort?
Thanks for your help

i believe that the it can be either the security system or there can be something that is instantly training your battery if this problem keep occuring then i would just buy a new battery and if it does the same thing then i would take it and have your chip read, it most likley can be your security system
