Verify the shift motor works and you hear the transmission detenting when pushing the park, reverse and neutral buttons. Those buttons and the start relay are fed off the pressure switch which is a known failure item. If the shift motor works, that switch is OK but if shift motor does not work in those positions then the pressure switch would be a good place to start.

Also verify the plug contacts are all pushed in solidly on both sides of the square connector under dash. If one has worked loose and backed out -- another known issue --, that can also cause your problem.
