Default 2015 ZO6 electrical problem

Hope someone can help.
2015 ZO6 12k miles, car was sitting for 4-5 weeks, when parked everything did work.
First the car got stuck in Park, not able to shift.
No turn signals , no parking or brake light, backup camera stopped working, no interior lights.
Third brake light do work.
Did check fuses, looks that they are ok.
Got message service battery, no turn signal.
Did Onestar diagnostics and everything ok.
The car drives and performs like it should.

How old is the battery? Was it connected to a battery maintainer? Might be time to replace.

Still the shifter is stuck in Park, using a tool to press in the pin to be able to drive the car.

Start by pulling the DTC's with a good scanner and move on from what you find.

Did have an older scanner, did not show any codes.
What is a good scanner to use?
Is there a way to get the codes without a scan tool?

I use a middle grade Autel scanner,

MaxiPro 808TS

No other way to get codes with out a scanner.

Maybe try AutoZone or Orielly's they have scanners that they will run a scan for free.

How about the Autel MX808S, do that do what needs to get done, it is less than $400 compare to the $700 for the 808TS pro version?

If the car is not running and driving like it should, I'd look to see if a mouse decided to snack on some wires.

Not sure of the differences,

If you call Autel they can advise you or you could look the scanner up on their website and compare the two different units but you get what you pay for.

I feel that my scanner is good but not great. Really good scanners start ~ $1500 and up. I need to up grade.
