Not cranking.

Interesting...

Apparently I congratulated myself too quickly. The car worked as advertised this morning but then would not start in the afternoon. The same symptoms occurred when I tried starting again. Also, the shifter would not shift OUT of park. I was able to push the shift override and start in neutral so I'm thinking maybe the PRNDL switch needs to be adjusted.

Would this prevent the shifter from moving out of park though?

How is the charge level on your battery?

The battery seems to be sufficiently charged enough to start the car.

I messed around with the PRNDL module trying to get the proper dash indications to coincide with the various gears but couldn't seem to get it just right. I finally left it somewhat sorta close but it still doesn't recognize what gear it's in every now and then. It starts consistently with the shifter in Park so that's all I really care about.

Unfortunately, I am still unable to shift out of Park because the BTSI system won't recognize that the brake pedal is depressed (I assume). Is there a way to bypass this obnoxious "safety" feature other than using a screwdriver to depress the override button?

If the PRNDL switch is not properly adjusted it could cause the shifter to not move out of park.

Review this post on properly aligning the PRNDL Switch.

You could also check to see if the brake lights come on when you press the brakes as the shift lock solonoid will not let you shift if it does not get brake voltage.
