    I replaced the main hybrid battery with a new one... Thought for sure my problems were over.. The 12V battery is fine...
    HERE IS THE PROBLEM: Press Indicator button once .. Little green light appears/ 2. with foot of course on brake, Orange light... NO READY Indicator AND cannot Shift from Park to Drive or Reverse.. Only goes from Park to N.. It will not turn over and run... Whats keeping it from turning over?
    So you know it isnt the hybrid battery or the 12v... whats next?

    With symptoms like that you should have error codes stored that you can retrieve to start the diagnostic process... Alternatively if you want to see if this problems re-occurs and don't have a way to read the codes, then disconnect the 12v battery for a few minutes which will clear the codes that keeps the car from functioning and see what comes back after that.

    Sounds like your safety disconnect switch isn't put in properly. I'd start there especially since you were just messing with it.

    Yeah that was my thought, but there was no reference of time for when the new pack was installed versus when the car failed. Because they weren't asking for help with new battery installation, I figured they were already past the orange safety plug issue...

    Yes it's difficult to give help when only vague posts are made. I think it could be read that the hybrid battery was the most recently worked on component. But it could be read lots of ways without timing details.
