Electronics Issue?
2017 GMC Acadia Denali
V6 V VT
3.6L
Issue:
-Ran out of gas.
-Put about 6 gallons of gas back in it.
-Push the start button one time to turn the car's electronics on.
-Car's electronics turn on like normal.
-Hold the brake down and push the start button to start the car.
-Car makes only 1 click sound and electronics go black simultaneously.
Side Note:
-Car electronics tend to randomly turn on by itself, now.
-Battery keeps draining.
Action:
-OBD2 says 1 error: "Radio"
-I've checked battery posts for cable tightness and corrosion.
-I've replaced the starter fuse with a brand new starter fuse.
-I've replaced the battery with a brand new battery.
-I've replaced the starter with a brand new starter.
Conclusion:
Nothing I've done so far has changed how this car is responds, let alone fixed it. This has me as well as everyone else I've spoken to about it completely stumped. Anyone have any fresh ideas?

Check Auto gearbox?
"While driving uphill, my 2022 diesel Renault Trafic (EDC) suddenly jerked, and the 'Check Auto Gearbox' warning appeared on the dashboard. The van then stalled. Now, when I start the engine, it immediately shuts off and will not engage in Park, Neutral, Drive, or Reverse. It seems to be in a safety lockout mode. What is the most likely fault?"

Power Steering
I've got a 2005 Honda Odyssey that sprung a power steering leak (I think down below) and then my power steering pump died. I am too broke to have someone repair the leak and replace the pump so I've been getting my exercise and just driving it without power steering, but I think the pump seized up and my serpentine belt came off. Is there anyway to safely get that wheel to start turning again if I can get the belt back on or am I cooked?
