Default is250 won't start at all

Hey guys, I have a 2009 is250 awd, and randomly the car won't turn on, the steering wheel is locked, the break pedal is locked as well. The car will sound like it will start, but nothing happens. The car key unlock and lock buttons are not working on the car as well. Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? I charged the battery and I am still having this issue!

Get your battery load tested at your local auto parts store.

My alternator literally died last week and showed these same symptoms. Try disconnecting the cable from the alternator to see if electronics will come back on. If the alternator is fried, it could be causing a short in the system and not working properly. Obviously make sure to disconnect the battery before attempting this then reconnect once done.
