Check to make sure your brake lights are working, if the brake pedal switch goes bad it won't come out of park

I had your issue. Check your fuses by the drivers door. I can't remember which one.

Workaround. Keep your foot off the brake. Move the key to start, but don't start. Then move selector to neutral. Then start your ex.

So i got it started today. Brake lights dont work, wont shift out of park even with the battery unconnected. Also no interior lights, no turn signal, no hazards, no windshield wipers, no radio, no power mirrors. Im guessing i blew a fuse somewhere guess ill pull all tomorrow and see if i did blow one
