PNP switch

Just finished up putting it back together after changing the shift solenoids, car won't start. Won't crank. I'm guessing it's the PNP switch. I figured when I took it apart I would mark it with a silver sharpie and line up the marks. That's not working. Or could it be something else thanks in advance.

Did you disconnect the fuse box?
Seems to be a common problem lately that nobody has seen fit to advise what the fix is.

Just did shift solenoids, went to start the car and nothing. I did notice, when you hit the lock button one time the doors locked the second time the lights flash and the horn beeps for the alarm. So If I hit the lock button the second time the locks just click no lights flashing no horn beeping. I think this might be my starting issue. Anybody got some insight. Thanks in advance

If your scan tool can see tranny data use it to look at the range selector pid's and adjust until they are correct.

Alarm issues

Having a problem with my alarm. Right now I cannot set the alarm. The second press on the remote no light flash no horn. Also the car does not start won't crank. When I turn the ignition key on I do see on the left side of the dash the little lock lit up but after a few seconds they all go off except the three to the right which I don't recall what they are. Also the fuel gauge reads empty and it says low fuel. But the tank is full. I had the battery disconnected due to some work I was doing when I plugged it back on I have these issues now. A while back my wife lost the keys I do have two original keys and one original key fob. I bought two additional keys and to fob's. Had them reprogrammed what was working fine until now any help thanks in advance

Threads merged AGAIN. Please stay in the same place.
The reason I asked about the fuse box is: did you hook it back up right? Or damage something inside it?
Did you check the battery? Did you check the Maxi fuse next to the battery? Fuses 4 & 6 underhood?
