Yesterday I went through some water on the street and two blocks later my car locked up. I have a 2002 x type 3.0, and the dash lights up, radio works, but the dashboard says Gearbox fault. The car is stuck in park and will not turn over (even though the electricity comes on). I have disconnected the batter (which is only a few months old) and reconnected it in hope of resetting the ECU. How do I get the car to get out of park, and at least get to crank? I see this model has lots of problems with moisture in the ECU.

I had the car towed to a local shop, which was hard because it was stuck in park (cannot get into neutral)..
