Look in the diy section. There is a write up on a starter/ fuse issue.

What is the auto trans switch? Maybe I know it as a different name?

AA recovery ran a scan an stated auto transmission switch/steering position sensor.
If I change the 7.5 fuse the car will start but will not come out of park as it has blown fuse again,replace the fuse when car is running and I can select drive but fuse will go again and only give 1st or 2nd gear.All other fuses/elec working fine.
