Problem solved,Thank you for using fixya.

Had the same issue with my wife's 2005 Lexus GX470. The issue is that the shifter is not in park (even though it seems it is). The other issue is that without the key turned, you can not move the shifter to neutral. If you look closely at the gear shift, on the left above the P (Park Symbol) there is a small rectangular box that has a **** on one side. Take a small screwdriver and lift the plastic cover which will reveal a button. With your foot on the brake, push the button with one hand and now you will be able to move the shifter to neutral with the other hand. Now, put it back in park and you should now be able to turn your key and start your car. Put the little piece of plastic you removed over the button and go on your way.

Disconnect all the plugs connecting the power seat to the wiring loom carefully,its straight foward,then remove the 4 bolts holding the seat in.Once the seat has been removed you can clean it and maybe if you feel the need to remove the electric motors but you shouldnt need to even with a big clean they shouldnt get wet,even when a car is detailed and steam cleaned inside electric seats are fine

Here's step-by-step instructions on how to access, remove and re-install your alternator. Hope it helps! Have a great day!
