Put the wrong key in the ignition
Hi! The wrong key was accidentally put in the ignition of my 98 gs 300 and not the key won't turn to start the car. This has happened before and I disconnected the battery and it worked but then again same thing happened but this time I locked the the doors and then unlocked it using the key in the driver's door and it worked but now neither ways I've tried before has worked so far. My key fob doesn't work and the steering wheel is unlocked.

Sorry I can't help you with the actual problem, but how do you put the wrong key type into the ignition twice? These aren't like old GM keys that you could mistake for a house key.

Lightly turn key in the ignition while wiggling it in and out to try to engage all the tumblers. Don't put any fluid in the cylinder except WD40, WD40 will dry up after used. (Tip from a locksmith)
