HELP!!! Car electronics going Haywire
98 GS 300 was going into limp mode - only 20% throttle. I could turn it off and restart it and it would run for about 30 min of driving and then go into limp mode again. Thought it was the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor. Took it off and cleaned it - popped the top open and cleaned all contacts but it didn't seem that bad. Re assembled, re-calibrated then BAM!!! Alarm goes off, all lights flash and blink, the ac ducts flap, the cd player hunts for cd's and it won't stop until i turn it off and turn it on again or put the key in the door and unlock the car. The car won't start, it only clicks rapidly as though the anti-theft function is active.
I thought it was the battery, but i charged and checked it and it's 100% charged. What gives???!!!

did you disconnect the battery? I've had a similar incident when i replaced my door lock actuators, when i reconnected the wiring harness without disconnecting the battery my car had some of the same issues pluss all the windows rolling up and down multiple times. maybe you blew a fuse?
I know older Lexus models like the SC's anti theft reset when stick the key in the driver door and unlock 2x quickly but idk about our GS's
