-Starts right up and sounds just fine but won't come out of Park.
-All the warning lights are on and won't turn off, including the parking brake even when the parking break is disengaged.
-Yet other stuff won't turn on at all, like the radio, A/C, etc., even though it'll sit there running just fine.
Now the battery was just replaced after dying for pretty much no reason we could tell, the car is only 1.5 years old... any of this maybe related to that somehow? What can drain a battery besides leaving a light on, etc? Sound like a computer/electrical prob?
Obviously I'm bored passing time waiting, so any of your guesses, lol.

I don't think it's the alternator, because that wouldn't explain her not being able to shift out of park, MG.

It turned out to be that the tape player was broken, and even when the car was turned off, it kept trying to play the tape player. Sometimes it's something like that. A sensor or something broken that allows things to still run even when the car is turned off. It took the mechanic a week to figure it out and it really bugged him

Well some of us don't need a NEW car every 2 yearsPlus, it's our "extra" car so what it plays really makes no difference
