Car does not start / all kinds of warning lights
Hello
yesterday I wanted to start my car and had all kind of warning light coming on.
My first guess was battery or alternator. So I disconnected the battery and charged it at home. After putting the battery back in the car started no problem and I drove to the battery shop to test the battery.
There they diagnosed the battery as good, but the car did not start again in the parking lot of the battery shop. It is throwing all kind of error lights again. See here:

I called my mechanic and together with the battery shop people they tried to diagnose and start the car. We checked the lever, fuses, crankshaft sensor, starter, etc but still nothing. After getting my second key for the car still the same error. The car does not start.
I will go today again with a scanner and read out error codes and try again.
Does anybody have an idea what else that could be?
Thanks

Do the brake lights come on when the ignition is on and you press the pedal? Brake switches can go bad. I see that Park Lever warning sometimes when I jab the brake in Park and the SBC tries to activate the 'hold' feature and gets mad at me.
If not hopefully codes should reveal your issue!
