Hey guys, I dove my car 2 weekends ago and all was good. after 3 days parked, it wouldn't start. all interior lights come on and the fuel pump runs, but the car won't crank. I've also now found that my rear running lights work, but no brake lights. Also no hazards but the turn signals do work. and finally I can't move the shifter. I traced the wiring fron the power distribution box under hood to fuse 22 inside the car, 12 volts to fuse,and the fuse is good, after that it supposedly goes to the brake switch, but no juice. any other devices I might need to look for? Thanks for any help.

Set Parking Brake. Turn ignition key to "Off" position (one notch before "ON" or "RUN"), move shifter to "Neutral", try to start car.

If the brake light doesn't work, the car can't be taken out of park if the key is on. As stated above, turn the key halfway to the on position, put it in neutral and try to start it.

So I figured out the brake light issue, I can't count and put the fuse in the wrong spot after checking it for continuity. Now only the starting issue remains. I have no power to the coil on the starter relay in the underhood power box. Checked ignition switch, it is good. Any suggestions
