Unable to start Bounder

I am stuck in Lexington Virginia with a 2006 Bounder 38N Diesel. When I turn the key on the transmission key pad does not light up and I get two codes flashing. One says "Park Set In Gear" and the other says "Trans ECU no data 25 sec". I have checked every fuse I can find to no avail. Batteries are fully charged. I really don't know where to go from here. Any advise would be appreciated.

Freightliner chassis ? Allison transmission series ? 3000 ? 2500 ?

If so then a call to Freightliner help line for a chassis wiring schematic and diagrams , have your serial number handy . 1-800-385-4357

Probably many changes in the years between our chassis being built , but I'll post this picture of the VIM ( Vehicle Interface Module ) from my 99 chassis , the VIM is usually close to the Allison trans controller ( yellow circle ) second photo is with cover off . Either of the fuses could be your ; shift pad not powering up issue .

Thanks SKIP46. This is a Allison 6 speed I think a 3000. Thanks to your pictures I found the 3 boxes in your first picture. After finding the fuses in the VIM to be ok I took the wires off the middle box and reconnected them and everything went back to normal and started. Next morning it said "Park in gear" again and would not start. I took the same wires off the ECU box (?) and used electronic contact cleaner on them. Plugged them back in and it was back to normal and started right up. It has been starting normal for 2 days now. Thanks again

Great to hear that you've found ; and hopefully fixed your issue .
Yes the box next to the VIM is the Allison ECU and if you have a quick look under the coach , and your transmission looks like the picture below ; you have a 3000 series.
