one simple thing to check first is the ABS connector is easily knocked loose in the battery box.Lift up the upper lid on the box, it is a big oval connector with heavy gauge red wires, push it in until you hear it click hopefully! it'll at least eliminate that.

The other codes are related to the transmission control system. O would focus on getting the car started. I will guess you are getting no sparks. This could all be caused by a bad crankshaft position sensor.

Replace the retarded ignition switch,the electrical part of the switch only if possible.

You may want to check your wiring harness to that door. The harness runs along the door frame, by door hinge area and it's inside a rubber boot. Most common problem is that a few wires break due to heat and age. If wiring is broken, repair wires if possible. If not possible to repair, recommend you replace the complete harness. If you are mechanically inclined, you will need to remove the inner door panel to access the harness. Once you have the harness removed, there is a label that identifies the part number for this harness. Good luck and hope this resolves your problem.
