Hi,

Which three points were soldered? Also, when you say, "won't turn over," do you mean the starter motor isn't engaging, or it does, and the engine won't start?

As far as being stuck in park, don't laugh, but are the brake lights working? I ask because the release actuator is powered by the brake lamp circuit. If there is no power to the brake lights, it won't release from park. Take a look at this link and let me know if it helps:

Let me know exactly what is happening or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
