Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your Highlander.
Given the proximity of the steering lock actuator and ignition components to the steering column, it is a good idea to review the prior repairs to ensure all parts were installed correctly and no wiring was damaged. There could also be problems with other components in the starting system, such as the ID code box or immobilizer ecu.
