Hook up a jumper battery under the hood. Check your owners manual.

Google it and you will find out .

Bad electric motor.

I think you just answered your own question.

the 1st thing you do is check and see if the brake lights are working, the system locks in park until it senses the brake pedal is pushed, so if the brake light switch is not working then it will not come out of park position.

Follow the brake pedal and there will be a switch on the top..most cars are designe this way.

Take it to mechanic and have it repaired. Or go to your local auto supply store and look for a Chilton and it will have detailed instructions on how to do it yourself. If you do it the DIY route and hit any snags come back here and get some help but Chiltons is VERY thorough.

The most likely problem is the locking mecanism in your shif selector.
There is a selenoid that prevent the car from get it out of park unless you push the brake pedal while the car is running or the ignition switch is on.
The problem could be in the brake switch itself under the dash or the selenoid in the shifter console.

I'm afraid you are at the mercy of the dealer on this one my friend! Other than electrical/computer diagnostics there is no service information available to the aftermarket. I am a professional repair technician and I can't even get a parts list for your roof system. You now know WHY the previous owner wanted to sell the car!

BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH ON PEDAL OUT OF ADJUSTMENT OR DEFECTIVE

this is a tough one but you can actually jump it with the hood closed if you are careful and know what you are doing. If you jack the front of the vehicle up and put it on jack stands you will be able to see the starter underneath right between the motor and the trans. there is one large wire running to it this is the positive directly from the battery. the ground can be connected anywhere on the frame. then you should be able to use the keyless entry into it to open the hood or the trunk to replace the battery.

Are you sure the engine is not grounded? Could be the starter relay. To make sure it is not a ground problem use a battery jumper cable and connect the engine to the negative battery post. Also make sure the battery did not lose its charge while working on the belt. Possible key left on.

Is it stuck in the engine "off" position? 1.) Check your car battery. If it's very low or dead, it may be preventing the ignition from unlocking. If it's low or dead, charge it and try again. 2.) If the battery checks out okay, press firmly on the "S" button (sport mode) next to the gear shifter. Surprisingly, that somehow solves the issue sometimes. 3.) If that doesn't work, there may be a problem with the ECM. But try the two steps above first as needed, and if that doesn't work, feel free to post back.

You need a specialist rather than a 'mechanic'. An auto electrician with a professional grade scan tool computer can diagnose all the security system, the anti-theft immobilizer and all the modules and sensors in about 40 minutes. They also have access to the wiring diagrams and understand them. https://www.google.com/search?q=mobile+auto+electrician+near+me ..
