Make sure it’s fully in park.

You sure you’re using the correct key?

Is there a shift lock? Should have a small hole to stick a small screwdriver to depress and release. Google shift lock for that model

Have you tried rocking the entire car back and forth?

Put the key in and tap the end gently with a screwdriver

When I had that problem it was usually a steering wheel issue. Gotta unlock the steering and turn the wheel and twist the key. Works on Mitsubishi products...

Had this problem several times with a 2003 Sequoia. Usually was a foot on the brake, hard pull on the steering wheel and turn the key maneuver, if I remember correctly. I never had a time I couldn’t resolve it, but I remember a couple of times I was getting close to having it towed to a garage.

As mentioned above check the shift lock. Had a similar issue with the Camry and there is a way to manually override.

You can do it yourself (I have) but the steering column has bolts that the heads break off (to prevent theft). Not an easy process. Then you have to have new keys made and programmed at the dealer.



Yes and no.

Pop off ignition.

Disassemble. Remove split tumblers. Leave others.

Reassemble.

Boom.

Bad news is almost any Toyota key will start it at that point

Real common "fix" on 4runners
