E350 2013 Issues - Car wouldn't shift, sensors won't work, no interior lights.
(E350 2013 model) So I went to turn on my car, and all these notifications appeared saying "SRS Malfunction, Service Required","Cruise Control inoperative","Tire pressure inoperative".( HERE are pictures, ) and some other messages I couldn't take pictures of. All my interior lighting would not work, as well as the radio and navigation. I also could not shift into reverse, or drive or anything, it would not move out of parking. Also my radiator fan kept increasingly getting louder to the point where I just turned my car off. I turned my car off and while inspecting the battery and just stuff under the hood I let roughly around 5ish minutes pass by and went back to start my car and now it starts and runs like before except there's a check engine light and a weird rattle noise coming from my engine bay. Could this be fuse oriented? I don't think my battery is to blame. My nearest dealer is roughly 20 miles away, so not being able to actually drive my car there would be an issue. Any advice is welcome, thanks guys!
Further update ---
It's been roughly 20 minutes I let it sit, and no more check engine sign. It's almost like nothing happened.
--------------------
this is worrying me.

Any update on how this was resolved?

One of the issues is that the vehicle won't shift out of park when it's like this. Of course, when the tow truck show up, the problem goes away except for the MIL illumination.
I too thought it would be something simple like a bad battery or an intermittent ground. Any one else have the same experience?

There is an auxiliary battery in the dash next to the door panel. I think a few people have changed it so that might be it.
