Answer
Patrick,
I would release the hood latch, turn off all accessories and the radio. manually lock the doors.
Open the hood remove the battery terminals (-) then (+) clean the terminals and battery post. Wait 20 minutes and reattach the terminals (+) then (-).
Using the key and remembering the correct direction for unlock. Unlock the driver door and wait until all the door lock cycle before removing the key.
Open the door and start the vehicle. See if this resets the computer.
Good Luck
