No Start Key not Recognized

I was moving my car around the garage to pull off the bumper for a larger H/E. I Don't know if this matters but I shut the car off with the wheel at full lock. I went to start it up again and nothing.

The key does not work as keyless go or in the ignition. I have had messages of key not recognized and put shifter in park. My second key does not work either. I am able to lock and unlock doors with the key.

Battery is good.......

Anything else to try?

Has anybody had this happen?

Thanks

I got it started. I think it was turning it off at full lock. I tried to break the lock like on older cars but the wheel would not budge. After inserting the key in the ign. I could hear something in the steering column like a lock release. I put the in the ignition several times and finally it unlock and allowed me to start it.

I've had this happen a few times with my keys but just wrote it off as an electronic glitch. Glad you got yours working again.
