My 4x4 drive shaft broke and pulled the electrical wiring harness completely out. Had it rewired and replaced,also replaced the speed sensors. Truck will now crank and drive but will not shift gears, checked fluid and fuses. What could be the problem?

Good morning,

Which shaft failed? The front or rear shaft?

Are there any codes stored?

Where was the harness damaged? Please give me as much information as you can.
