    jeep was running good until I left my key on and drained battery.now I charged it for about 30 minutes and used the start side of charger after the first 30 minutes.the jeep wanted start on the first crank and now will not start at all.is this a security issue or is my battery to low even after charging to get the pcm to give me spark.any ideas would be great help.

    Try getting a jump start from another vehicle or lithium jumper pack. Get the battery load tested free at Autozone or Advance etc. If the battery is old and weak replace it. Sometimes batteries don't recover well from being drained or it may have a bad cell etc. Post up your resolution.
