Q: My engine will not turn over.
Two days ago, I noticed my transmission would not shift into higher gears, I believe it was stuck in 2nd/3rd gear. I go to start my Durango today, and the electrical kicks on like the battery is getting power, but my engine will not even attempt to start. No clicks, no sounds, nothing. We checked the battery and starter. Both are good. On my dashboard it looks like my computer is saying the transmission is in Reverse, although it's not. What could this be?
