The vehical will start with no problem. It will only stay on for about 5 seconds and then turn itself off. Then the headlight's will continue to flash.

The car was purchased at an auction and did not come with a manuel or remote entry remote.

The problem didnt happen untill my daughter tried to open the passenger door before the car was unlocked.

Sounds like it's in theft mode. Use the key to unlock the door. If that doesn't work, unlock the passenger door. If that works, suspect broken wires between the driver's door hinges or the link between the lock and switch is disconnected or broken.
