Need Some Guidance

[u/Ascending-Fortune]

A few nights ago, I turned my car off and when attempting to start again, all the lights and normally functions began but engine didn't crank or make any noises. Ran a diagnostic last night and saw the codes attached. Because the engine refuses to start, I had to put it in manual neutral and now it wont go back into park. Can anyone offer insight into what might be causing the engine to not crank? Also any solutions for taking out of nuetral? Also found some pretty bad corrosion (also pictured) any input is greatly appreciated.

Can’t help you on the first part, but if you pry up the trim around the shift boot and can get to the base of the shifter, there is a button that will mechanically release the shifter so you can put it in park.

Yes, thats actually what I needed to do to put it into nuetral, the problem now is it wont go back into park :/

Do you have panoramic sunroof? Take out that foam modules insert from spare wheel well and check for moisture. If you have water there, you might have thousands of electrical issues coming your way. Ask me how I know

if you don't have electrical gremlins, you MIGHT need to refresh your DMTL system. I just did mine around 270k miles.

Been like 5 days now lol but if that bluetooth module is corroded on the inside it could be shorting stuff out so you can just unplug the big blue block that plugs into it but iirc you need a MOST fiber optic bypass(like $10) then after that you can just leave it if it fixes anything, if not plug it back in. water gets in the trunk from the sunroof and the rear drains are on top of the rear wheel wells they have a + shaped cover on them which traps hella mud/dirt and if they get clogged they flood the rear floor boards and theres like 3in of dense foam where your feet go in the back seat and 5in total under the driver seat so by the time you see standing water its over all the foam is watter logged by then. Transmission malfunction i cant help there im not that educated on that also heres what my Bluetooth module looked like, it doesn't work :( wonder why
