I came back from work, no issues. Decided to go out car wont start. Couldn't
remove they key from ignition, shifter stuck in park,The instrument panel
shows some sporadic flashes of headlight indicator. I heard slight almost
buzzing from the speakers. no door chimes, no dome lights. Attached start
booster and wipers turned on, worked very slowly, when I accidentally hit
the leve,r still no full power to instrument cluster.Tried brand new spare key-
no luck. Googled this mysterious problem and came up with following ideas
but no sure solutions.
(1)Dead battery, however car supposed to be able to start with booster no
dice here
(2) brake light switch (as it controls 3 different items ,including being one of
the causes of traction control and stabili track warnings- both an issue in my
car) so its a possibility
(3)ignition switch dealers first choice at $186 or and apparently not a
solution to a majority of people that done it
(4)ignition switch sleeve or loose wires there
(5)ignition switch assembly- not sure if that is not what some people call
sleeve $400?
(6) shifter assembly (does it come with integrated solenoid and whole thing
needs to be replaced ? it solved problem that appeared like what i have)
(7) park neutral switch (btsi switch) or rather its solenoid
(8) broken or loose wire to the above- I didn't really see anything loose or
broken, when took it apart
(9) micro switch/broken tab checked it looks ok ( apparently it is the cause if
a car starts and everything else seems to be ok, just stuck shift leaver and
stuck key)
I would appreciate any insight

Sorry I posted it in the wrong section and there is already similar thread in exinox. I wonder if someone else could move it and/or merge it with that thread
