2019 cub cadet challenger 750

Went for a nice trail ride for about 20 miles, came back, shut it off, and attempted to go for another ride. The electronic gear shifter will not go into park to start it up.  It reads neutral in the park position. Disconnected the battery and reconnected and it now read Park. But, when you put your foot on the brake to start it, it goes right back to neutral. Checked everything that I could think of and decided it has to be the 17 gear position sensor. Not certain this is the issue but I bought a used one on Ebay (could not locate a new one) and will try it. Any other possibilities?

Hi, Having the same issue.  Did you resolve yours?

Were you guys able to resolve this?  I'm having the same issue.  It shows as being in Neutral when it is in park and will not start.  (I thought it would start in neutral anyway? - but I tried putting it in neutral, and it won't start there either).  I took out the shift selector switch to test it, and it is sending a good signal when in the Park position.  I took it to the dealer and they noticed a couple of wires were chewed by mice and some terminals looked melted on the fuse block.  So they recommended replacing an entire new wiring harnesss with a kit to move the fuse block up under the hood.  They wanted $4k to do this, so I ordered the kit and did it myself.  Now I have the exact same issue.  Any thoughts?
