Hood support rod, ground out on the battery, engine wont run

From Underneath the vehicle.. It is connected to the transmission arm via a set bolt and rod. If the rod is bent or the arm is damaged . It will not go into park or shift at all. This happens usually if you run over something that is high enough to scape or hit the bottom of the vehicle.. You will need two people ...one to put the lever in the proper position and the other put the transmission arm in park and set the rod the setscrew in place .. Nine times out of ten it is damaged and you will have to replace it.

Probably lost either spark or fuel to the engine. Try starting it with starting fluid into the intake. If nothing happens, check for spark on a spark plug wire- probably the ignition system. If it runs for a second or two with starting fluid, it is a fuel problem-check fuel pressure to see if the fuel pump is still working.

see if you have corroded battery cable or is body ground hooked to body ground next check red wire at large wire in the firewall plugin for 12v if not put a thick wire on the positive battery cable tighten it down ther then split the insulation on the red wire spread the copper wires inside and stick the other end of that wire thats hooked to battery positive into the spread area an wind it around look at dash lights are they on start car if wont turn over its probably in the start wire circuit test the purple wire going to the starter solenoid make sure car is in park

Check all the connections to the engine ground,ground to frame,and ground to body.

The ignition key will not come out of the ignition cylinder with a bad battery. There are jump post to the battery so you do not have to remove the battery cover to jump the car. Once you open the engine hood, look at the battery cover and look for the positive jump post, it will be marked and the ground will be anywhere you can ground the jumper cable in the engine bay. Once you have the engine running or you connected the jumper cables with the other car running, you can remove the key's from the ignition. Good luck and take care not to damage the pass lock system in your ignition lock.

If it is that the starter will not turn the engine to start the engine,check and see if the battery is busted,and check the battery for 12 volts,check the cables at the battery to see if they were knocked loose.Also check for body ground to battery and engine block.Follow the positive cable from the battery to the starter,and make sure it is attached,look at the starter to see if the small wire is still attached.If it is just turning over and will not crank up.The computer may have took to much of a jolt,and is damaged.It is under the hood.

does the battery have a full charge to it? If so clean battery terminals and chck battery cable at starter make sure its getting good contact. Make sure battery ground is making good contact at engine. Can you jump the car off? If so take off positive battery terminal while the car is running if the car dies altenaters bad replace it.

check under the hood for a red cap over a stud looking rod, that would be your battery positive jumping rod, then just ground it to a suitable clean grounding spot away from any fans, belts or pully's

There is a positive post under the hood. Hook a charger up there ground it to the engine this should give you enough power to open the hatch

The routine (resistor) that shuts off the wipers and parks them correctly is in the wiper motor, not the switch. I assume your switch is good since you make no complaints about its movement. One thing to check before replacing wiper motor is to loosen the wiper arms, and let the motor park itself in what you feel is the bottom of windshield position. Now align the wipers and retighten.

If these get positioned wrong after, say, a frozen morning, this will affect parking of wipers since motor "park" is no longer in synch with wiper arm "park."

Otherwise, if wiring and positioning are correct, I recommend replacing the wiper motor itself.
