2005 X5 stuck on S mode no start

[97trbod]

Hello....just joined and first time user. I recently purchased a 2005 X5 3.0 that won't start. The shift indicator says it's in S mode. Shifter moves freely but doesn't come out of S mode. You can go to M mode also. I've checked all fuses as I read a post that a blown fuse can cause this. Thanks for any help.
