Loaned car to my BRO, now having problems with it. Will not go into drive or other gears, shift is locked, I use key slot next to shifter to put in gear and it drives but then wipers, horn and lights go off as if alarm is active and radio locks out. Bro tells me he gave his girlfriend a jump start with my car and then parked it afterwards. I am dumbfounded by this, can anyone help please? This is my only car and I am tired of bus and weekends at home. Anyone please help me with an answer or where I can find help or who to ask, please.

Hopefully your BRO didnt cook something when he jumped the other car.Check every fuse (under dash adn under hood) with a test light. Have you tried locking and unlocking the drivers door(sometimes trunk) with the key before trying to start it (not using keyless entry) sounds like the factory alram is going off , you need to disable it.
