The electrical portion is cheaper, start with that. Take the plastic clam shell off the steering wheel and DIY. With the switch out, you can turn it with a screwdriver. It is supposed to stop at pos III and spring back to pos II.

While the cylinder is exposed, note the cable on the rear and give it a drop of oil where it slides into the cylinder. That cable is part of the shift lock and will eventually get gunked up and cause problems. Do not use WD40, just a drop of oil is enough.

The replacement of the lock is quite expensive and requires a dealer download.
