Steering Wheel Replaced, Now key won't turn

[prwillard2]

I seem to have tripped the immobilizer on my 01 LX470. I cannot turn the key (which is the master) after replacing my steering wheel. Had to go to wheel lock on my steering wheel to remove the center bolt, now the key will not turn.

I get full power, telescopic steering wheel, but cannot turn the key.

What do I do?

Sounds like your steering wheel lock is on. Try rotating the steering wheel a bit in either direction to get the key to turn. Immobilizer would still allow the key to turn.

This worked. You are awesome. Thanks DirtDawg
