LexDiamondz Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I just changed my battery on 2000 gs300 and the ignition is now locked. Can anyone tell me what I need to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2JayZ Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Try disconnecting the battery again for an hour - just pull the Neg terminal off. Re-connect, then make sure you use a Master key to start the car. If this doesn't work you probably need a trip to Lexus to get reprogrammed.

djspawn00 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I think i had the same problem where I could not turn the key in the ignition as if though the steering wheel lock had stoped it. Some progressive giggling and a lil graphite on my keys fixed the problem... but it took nearly 20 minutes of fidgeting around... it never happened again afterwards though and only happened that one time my first week into owning the car.

Thanks, I disconnected the battery and reconnected and then it worked! But now,,, My aftermarket headunit has no power... I put the face on and nothing... any suggestions?
