    Okay, I see what you're saying now. I'll double check it and see if it works. Thank you :)

    I checked the interlock and it is locked like the diagram shows.

    This is very unusual, usually after you disconnect the battery, it'll reset and fault you may have and it'll start. I was pretty sure it was the interlock.....bummer

    I agree. I'll have it taken in tomorrow, hopefully it's nothing major. Thank you for all your help!

    You are positive you put the interlock in, flip the lever up, and then press downward to lock it in place?

    Yes, I undid the latch and redid it like the diagram showed just to make sure.

    1. Check the 10A ETCS fuse in the main relay/fuse box next to the inverter (regarding P2118).
    2. P0A4C and P0A4D may point to a failure of the transaxle or a bad wiring harness.
