Hi, was driving to a friends and after filling up I went to drive, accidentally bumped the shifter into park. The car started rolling, computer on the dashboard says it’s in “Drive” when it’s in park.
Key refused to come out. I got into the “shifter solenoid lockout” next to the shifter after a quick Google search and was able to pull the key out of the ignition.
Fried my battery after trying to jump it when I had to sit in it for 8 hours waiting in a friend to pick me up. Got a new battery, connected it, dashboard it still the same.
I can now get it into park/neutral/all other shifts and those work but now the engine won’t start. Everything comes on, dash lights, headlights, radio, but no engine. Going to have someone look at it when I can, currently it’s stuck out in the middle in the desert until I can figure out somewhere to tow that isn’t gonna cost $400.00 with the limited companies in the area. Is this a computer glitch or did I completely mess up my transmission with a simple bump? At a loss. Any help is appreciated.
