Check your harness on the driverside, between the door and the body frame. The harness sometimes get spliced by the hole in the frame. This would cause the electronics wires to touch (sometimes work/ sometimes don't). GL.
Heater blows cold air
With the car warmed up,feel the heater hoses,are they both warm/hot near the firewall in the engine compartment?If they are both warm/hot,then the heater core should have circulation through it and it may be a "blend door" issue in the heater a/c assembly.If they are not warm/hot then the heater core could be dirty and plugged up and needs to be flushed.
If the above does not help,a drain and vacuum of the cooling system and vacuum refill will remove any trapped air.
Sometimes,clamping off the top rad hose and holding the engine rpm at 2000 rpm will force trapped air out of the heater core.(Watch temp gauge when trying this)
Lastly,a NEW thermostat doesn't mean its working correctly.

Has the TCM been scanned for fault codes, do that first and see what shows up that might explain this. It is very likely you just need to rebuild the transmission.
Starter won't turn over engine
Hey Dan mac do you have interior lights and such when you turn key? If not check/charge your battery and try again-if you have lights etc. check alternator gauge and/or grab your handy dandy volt/multimeter to ck out put of alternator as it may not be charging your battery. If the starter is clicking but not turning over and battery is good then one suspects the starter or relay is at fault.

My key is stuck and car wont start
What has likely happened is your Shift Knob on your automatic SC300
is not releasing the Key.
Because it is not going 100% forward into Park.
You should remove the trim around the shift knob. Including the Knob.
The knob has a sleeve that slides down to reveal 1 screw that is facing the rear of the car.
You should have the metal shift shaft.
Wrap a rag around it and grab the top are and push forward with
a good amount of force. You need to slightly BEND the shaft forward.
Back into place.

Key won't turn
Have you stopped with the steering loaded against the lock? Turn the wheel one way or other and see if it unloads the lock to allow the key to turn. If this doesn't do it you may need an auto tech.
Making ticking on cylender head
Ticking sound on top of engine usually points to sticking valves. Run through a good fuel treatment for a couple of fill up, it may just clean up some of the carbon and gunk, have the valves checked. Fuel treatment works folks, will even keep many of your sensors in good working order. Use premium gas when you do the treatment..
