Electronic Transmission system is reliant on a neutral/park switch which is liable to corrosion. Problem is becoming more common on vehicles which are exposed on a regular basis to wet conditions. The fix is replacement of the switch.Yesterday my 2004 RR HSE failed to get in gear. I stopped at a store and came back, started it up and put it in drive only to hear a loud grinding niose. I quickly put it in park and then tried it in reverse and same thing. I was on a very slight incline and while in park it would not hold unless I had hand brake up. I had to tow it home and now don't know what to do. Please help!!
Thanks,

Gramor & Dopey , Thanks for your reply. I had it traillered (flatbed). I also don't know anything about a switch. At this point I am looking for answers. In my search I came across this link which may be what has happend.Electronic Transmission system is reliant on a neutral/park switch which is liable to corrosion.

and was it towed or traillered?, if towed did you remember to swap over the fuse's per the handbook before towing?..........do you have a warrenty with the vehicle?
Sorry,work was holding me up, if you have a RR on front suspension tow the rear output shaft on transfer case will rotate as the vehicles moves forward, but front will not, to avoid the centre diff overheating the speed sensor inputs from front drive shaft to VCU have to be isolated......hence a fuse exchange is required to isolate these signals.You traillered so no problem.
with RR's.
