Answer
Hi Jason,
Let's treat it like an ordinary no starter motor problem. So check whether when a helper tries the start does the starter motor relay click softly or not, and if it does do you get a louder click from the solenoid switch on the starter motor? It could be a weak battery if that is so. Or the P/N safety switch. But also, use the ignition switch: "on-off-on-off-on and leave on" doing that in 5 seconds or less elapsed time. Then watch the odometer window to see the mileage reading replaced by a 4-digit number preceded by a P. Let me know what you find.
