Dashboard warning lights
There is a switch on the transmission that tells the indicator what gear it's in. It sounds like that switch has gone bad. The indicator lights might be due to the computer picking up a fault with the switch. You should take it in somewhere and get it scanned. You could go to an auto parts store for a free scan but they will probably try to sell you every single part that might cause that code, taking it to a shop and paying them a little money to confirm what part is bad is worth the money in the end.

Car wont start after replaceing batterty
The most common cause of a non-starting car is the battery. It is either weak, (low voltage) dead, (zero voltage) or has bad connections. (corroded or loose) I will assume you have a fully charged battery with good connections. (both to battery and starter relay) Just becaue its new, don't mean its good or fully charged.
If you remove the starter switch lead (small wire) from the starter relay and apply +12v from the battery to its respective prong or lead on the relay, and your starter cranks, your starter switch is faulty. (not to be confused with your key switch). If you jump the two large wires together on the relay and it cranks, then the relay is faulty. If you jump the two large wires together and nothing happens, then starter is faulty, or wires to starter are loose or broken. Picture of starter switch prong on the relay is pictured. NOTE: sparks are to be expected, so don't be too scared.

Almost certainly it is coming from the rear bank cam cover gasket, for which leak the Camry V6 is notorious. Other common places are the distributor shaft o-ring seal, the crankshaft nose seal (replaceable), and the oil filter adapter bracket (if fitted)If you get the cam cover gaskets done, specify Toyota parts, as the aftermarket parts don't last, they harden quickly.

with a Volt meter, any (1920 to now) you check the voltage
at the PRNDL, , 12v in , and
0v out , in reverse is bad switch.

Depending on where you are located, I would either take the vehicle by your local Toyota Dealer or locate (through your online search engine) a specialized foreign/domestic auto repair shop and ask a service advisor if they can take a look at it and pre-determine (prior to spending money) if they have had problems in the past with them? Then I would inquire if they could kindly assist you in repairing the issue. More than likely something is jamming the release from opening, or it is internally broke and will need to be replaced.
