Default HELP!! Ignition Relay buzzing!

I recently purchased a 2008 zo6 and last night I took it out for a drive and then put it a way in the garage. This morning i went in the garage and heard a buzzing sound coming from the fuse block under the hood. It turns out the ignition relay is buzzing like crazy. The car starts Up and runs for a second then dies. I thought it was a battery issue so I replace it with a new optima. The buzzing persists. I also swapped relays and it didnt go away. Does anyone have any ideas? I hate to take this thing into the shop . I am sure its something simple.

Take it back to the place you bought it and have them fix the issue.

I wish it was that easy. I bought the car in Florida and I live 1600 miles away in Wisconsin!

Fire up the Tech II - there is probably an error code or two.
