My brother-in-law recently bought a 2012 Leaf SV from auction, and had me go get it with him. Upon getting to the car, it was completely dead. They attached one of their jump kits to it just so we could get it into neutral and push it to an outlet. After charging it for a bit, we turn it on (brake down, then start button), and try to shift but it just beeps at us once and refuses to shift. We try again with the emergency brake off, same result.
Fast forward to now, we have the Leaf at my parent's place since they have a level 2 charger. The Leaf is fully charged and has a brand new (as of today) 12V battery. Now for the issues; the dash is lit up with all of the warning lights (master, ev, yellow triangle, etc.), climate control doesn't work (radio and nav unit do), OBD port does not receive any power, and the kicker is that it doesn't shift from park(sort of). I did however, spend 10 minutes fiddling with turning the car on/off and a bunch of different combinations of ACC to ON, OFF to ON, etc. as well as pulling the shifter to drive/neutral while OFF/ON/ACC. I noticed that after two or so minutes of fiddling with it, I am able to shift to N/D/ECO/R, but the second I put it in park and turn it off, it goes back to being stuck in park.
So the problems I am facing are; whatever is up with the shifter and power to accessories, with a "minor" issue being that when I did get it into drive and drove it around, the T/M malfunction popped up. The things I am 100% sure are good are the charge and the 12V battery. Where do I go from here (preferably not the dealer)? Thanks in advance.
Edit: Just grabbed my phone and a usb cable, plugged it into on the of the USB ports, and turns out that it's powered and active. So, I have power to accessories like the usb. but not to climate control or OBD.
