You should get the codes pulled. It'll tell you, and us, what is going wrong with the car.

Well, it is now no longer possible to pull codes to tell you what the problem is. Best guess at this point is something wrong in the ignition/electrical side of things.

I misunderstood what you were saying then. Are you saying that if you turn the key to on and leave it there, the light will come on? It is supposed to do that, and then turn off when you start the car. It is a self-check by the car. As for the car not moving, it could be an electrical problem or a mechanical problem. It depends what's causing the problem. It could be a bad sensor or wiring, or it could be a mechanical problem. It's hard to say for sure over the internet without any codes. When you disconnect the battery and reset everything, it erases the codes. The codes will not come back until the car is driven again, which seems unlikely since it won't move.
