I drive a Lexus RX 300.

It so happened that the battery started draining overnight for no reason. Eventually the auto electricial discovered that the cause of the problem was the radio and he removed it to fix.

When I eventually drove the car I realised that the speakers, the inner lights and the sun roof have stopped working but the major issue is that after 2 days the vehicle stopped engaging gear.

The car is permanently stuck in neutral "N" now. The gear lever moves but it does not actually engage and the light on the dashboard showing the gear position remains on "N".

Is this problem an electrical fault caused by the work the auto electrician did or is it a mechanical fault?

I have never had this problem before although I changed the front axle about 5 years ago.

Scan the car first but your problem stems from electrical issues, whether it was caused by the electrician we can't determine that but you need to scan the gear and try check all wire connections relating to the gear

check the cable that connects the gear lever to the neutral switch. It's most likely cut or disconnected. Or the neutral switch is bad.

Check Transmission cable it’s either cut or disconnected.
If that is okay, check PRND (park neutral safety) switch

The issue has been resolved, it happened because the transmission cable unhooked from the gear lever.

As for the other electrical issues it was because the auto electrician did not properly fix the fuses after he initially removed them.

Thanks a lot for your contributions, it gave me a pointer to the cause of the problem thereby helping me avoid over-billing

Ask your mechanic to check your neutral switch. Although, I doubt his competence because if his game is tight, you won't need to ask for opinions.

Your front axle change done 5 years ago isn't d cause of this problem.

Employ the services of Gazzuzz if you're in Lag, kingreign if you are in Abuja and if you're not in any of the aforementioned locations, please indicate so that you can be advised appropriately.
