It may just be a bad transmission , these transmissions are know for being problematic .

The check engine light came on could it be something electronic

You can check the codes , but its probably not something electronic . It is more likely the code will tell you that there is a mechanical problem.
As a general rule transmissions will always move forward and reverse without the electronics hooked up , they may not shift effectively but they will always move unless there is a mechanical problem.
I need to get off of here for tonight , but let me know if you have any more questions.
If you can get the codes checked i can let you know what they mean or how to check them if you want .

Riding down the road my transmission stopped. Pulled over and turned it off and let it sit for a few minutes. Started it back up and the check engine light came on. Shift into reverse and drive but it won't move

OK let me know when you get them checked
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
The speed must be taken into consideration, in order to properly diagnose a shaky steering wheel during driving. A shaking or vibrating wheel at low speed may point to a problem with tires, or with bent/broken suspension components. On the...
If the old bulb wasn't burnt out by the ballast, the new ones shouldn't either. The most likely cause of your woes are the cheap bulbs. I would strongly suggest only purchasing name brand bulbs (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-to-buy-a-good-quality-headlight-bulb). They may be much...
The idle air control valve does regulate engine rpm during closed throttle operation and is controlled by a computer. You mentioned having 3000 RPMs with the A/C on, this seems pretty high and could be pointing to another problem like...
Your mechanic's diagnosis and explanation could well be correct. This is classic symptom behavior of a failing ignition switch. The contacts become "burned" over time and over lots of "start" cycles. The repair is to replace the ignition switch (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/ignition-switch-replacement)....
This is likely a bad fuse (since it's multiple items in the cluster), or a bad connector to the cluster. Check fuses, then disconnect and reconnect the instrument cluster wiring plugs - use electrical contact cleaner as well to clean...
Hi there - to respond to your specific question, the answer is to use a higher temperature brake pad material (like a ceramic or carbon brake pad) - rather than a different rotor for your rather heavy vehicle. The brakes...
Hello, thank you for writing in. Typically the brakes will vibrate during and after a stop if there is an issue with the brake pads, rotors, or the caliper guide pins. Start by checking the guide pins, as they are...
If you have the ignition switch out of the vehicle then you may be getting a switch that is not making good contact internally. I would first recommend replacing the ignition switch and checking connector for any problems in the...
If the issue did not exist prior to the work being done, then the cause of the unusual noise is due to the pads and/or the interaction between the pads and the particular finish that was left on the rotor....
