More than likely you have an issue with the ignition lock. Basically, when the shift interlock is not releasing the shifter, it can also lock the ignition.

There is a cable that goes from the shifter to the switch. A lot of times this cable gets locked, so we need to inspect it or even replace it.

Below are the instructions on how to do this.

We need to also check the voltage from the interlock relay just to make sure it is being commanded to release. If not, then that is a different issue and is the direction we need to go.

Here are a couple guides that will help with this testing:
