Good morning.

First, check the battery. it needs 12.6 to be fully charged and work all the systems.

The fact it will not crank in park tells me the park/neutral switch on the shift linkage is either out of adjustment or is bad.

does the engine crank over fast when it tries to start?

overheated a little? please explain.
