Under the shift lever, in the console, is a micro shift switch. Yours seems to have failed, meaning you need to push the button to get out of park.
Your PNP switch has nothing to do with the car not starting, but it may be going bad. An easy fix.
Please read up on how to obtain the diagnostic codes from the builtin code reader in the engine compartment. These 2 boxes will tell you what is wrong with the car. If you have never read these codes before, then I suggest you clear them all first and wait for the real problem to present itself. An ongoing problem will not let the code clear.
There is a procedure to read codes in the 700/900FAQs section in the dropdown box, top right of this screen.
