So I went to O’Reillys and tried to get it test by the computer and they said they could not because the fuse for the reader was out. So we changed the fuses out and now the car starts and shuts off immediately.

This sounds like a theft issue. More then likely in changing that fuse, it tripped the system to think it was being stolen.

This is similar to what happens after you change the battery. Take a look at this guide and it will help with this issue:

If the theft light is on or flashing the we are going to have to go through the reset procedure. Here is a guide that will help with that as well:

Lastly I attached below the info about this system. More then likely there is a code but either their scan tool cannot communicate with the BCM or Comfort control module where the code would be stored, or they did not select that module to check for codes.

Let us know what codes are there and about the security light and we can go from there.
