Check to see if your brake lights are working. Behind your brake pedal is a switch which when activated turns on your brake lights, it is also a safety feature on autos. If this is not working you will not be able to select any gears. Hope this helps

SOURCE: 1999 toyota avalon horn works intermitely

I would suggest to you to have the spiral cable (or 'clockspring') replaced. This is the electrical unit that transfers power to the air bag, the horn and the cruise control.

It is located right under the seering wheel.

Your description of the issue indicates to me that your spiral cable is loose, and making intermittant contact. If the vehicle had an air-bag deployment, this cable-device should have been changed.

SOURCE: how to reset the check engine light on a 1999 toyota avalon xls

You need to have a code reader/scan tool hooked up to retrieve the code/s that triggered the engine light. You can have this done at most auto parts stores for free. Try Auto zone, Checkers, Napa, or Murray's. The engine light will eventually go out if the computer does not receive any codes after many cycles turning the ignition on and off. It will not go out if there are codes still present. After you've retrieve the code/s bring them back here and we will have a better understanding of what caused them.

Trouble code p0125 insuficient coolant temp on 1999 toyota avalon

Many shops have a hand held pyrometer that can check actual engine temperature. you can get a rough idea what the temp is by using a thermometer taped to the upper radiator hose. Normal engine temp is generally in the 210degree (f) range. If it is at or close to that I'd change the temperature sending unit. If it is far below normal, check that the thermostat is not stuck open (replace if it is).
