Can you take a picture of the wire and area were you bumped this wire please.

Im guessing there is a relay on the back of the Push start button module and maybe you shorted that out? Whats weird is that it will work if the car is in N but not in P??

Did you check all of your fuses first? You likely just blew a fuse. I've yet to see a relay go without the fuse first blowing.

I dont think its a fuse because the OP stated they can start the car in N but not in P. So the push start is getting power or it wouldn't work in N.

you have fuses on both kick panels up front, under your hood, and in your trunk...cant hurt to just double check as that's a cheap easy fix.

If you can start in N and not in P, sounds like a Neutral Safety Switch.

When in P, does the engine crank at all? Or just nothing?

They are likely right. Either the Power Source Control ECU or the ECM. I've attached a wiring diagram as reference. Gives you a better idea of what the circuit looks like.

A google search shows me that that's the Power Control ECU. That said, here's a diagram of its location. It should be straight forward plug and play.
