I cannot find the fuse for the license plate light
The lic plate light are on the same fuse as the park lights so if they work the fuse is good, try removing the bulb assembly and look for things like a bad ground caused by dirt or rust, if you have a 12 volt test light you can check to see if you are getting any power to the light socket or the wires leading up to the sockets and you can trace back to where the problem is.
1991 Lexus LS 400 ignition locked doesn't turn past ACC
First things first, if you can not turn the key lock past ACC you are not doing anything with the starter. The problem with the lock must be in the lock or the linkage connected to it.The price for the starter may be fair depending on where it is coming from. You have to be able to turn the key to the start position before anything happens with the starter.
Cant open the trunk from
Getting this lock to turn may and may not get the trunk to open. If the lock is in the lock position right now it might work but if its in the open prosition which is where most people leave it its not going to work but because there is a definet problem with that lock its good place to start. First I would go to pepboys or some kind of autoparts place and buy some lock lubcant or deicer and spray in the lock and work the key you might luck out if it don't work its only a couple bucks if it does work you made out big time. If it don't work the unit is gona have to come apart to find out if the lock is froze or the switch. If its the lock take it to a lock smith if it the switch you will have to replace that.
Power steering

Could be several things.If the head gasket is blown, you may have lost compression in the cylinders. You may have also damaged the spark plugs with coolant.
