The first thing I'd check is the wiring going to the transmission. Five years is a long time for a vehicle to sit! Especially if it was stored outside! You could have critter damage. Mice, rats, and squirrels love to chew on wires and make nests in vehicles that are sitting! If that's ok, check the transmission fluid level. Make sure it's not excessively low. Beyond that you may be looking at replacing the transmission. Hope that helps! Jim
