My 1998 Buick Park Avenue that won't shift from Reverse to Park

My 1998 Buick Park Avenue all of the sudden would not shift from Reverse into Park. Then, when I trade the range of gears it would go into, it wouldn't go past 1st into 2nd or 3rd (it is an automatic). I let it sit overnight due to frustration, and then the next morning, the battery was almost dead and all of the electronics re-set themselves - even the keychain remote to unlock the car doesn't work. I jumped the battery, and it regained power, but all of the shifting / electronic issues persisted. Any ideas?

1997 buick park avenue won't move when put in reverse. Just happened all of a sudden. works in Drive.

You can check the fluid level in the transmission, but if it is at the proper level, your transmission needs to be serviced at a qualified shop.

My reverse lights on my 1998 Buick Park Avenue do not work. I have replaced the bulbs but nothing. Help please

It is probably the B/U light switch. I'm not sure if that one is on the transmission or at the bottom of the steering column
