Where do I add water
'don't open when hot' is where you fill-that is your fill cap for coolant, use a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water, and fill to the cold fill level. And, don't do this if the engine is hot or has just been run for more than a few minutes.

2001 Avalon cigarette lighter has no power, 5A
There are 2 common problems for this, 1 is the power connecting wire to the lighter housing falls off, or if the wire is connected and has power, the lighter unit itself has an internal open circuit and needs to be replaced.

The electrical suppy warning light
Hello and welcome to FixYa!
If the battery light is on, I strongly suggest that you have
the battery charged. It can be an indication of a weak battery or a faulty
alternator. If the battery light still on after charging then the problem will
surely be on the alternator itself. If that's the case the alternator should be
replaced to resolve the problem.
If the battery won't hold charge even on a new alternator
then the problem will be on the battery itself. It surely is in the end of it's
service life and replacement will be necessary.
You may try to reset it to by removing the positive battery
connector, letting it sit for at least 5mins. then reconnect it again. This
will reset the system and can get the battery light off.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good
one!

Check engine sign appeared on
Appears it is an Oxygen sensor error, they are located in the exhaust system, in the v6, that code indicates the second bank (but unsure which bank that is) Ideally you need to take the car in for service, or at least inspect the Oxygen sensors, the code indicates that teh heater element has failed.

How can I turn Off
It takes a special reset tool. VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) it's Toyotas' version of anti lock brakes. One of your sensors are either loose, shorted or disconnected and it needs to reset once scan has been done.

The trunk release on the dash does not work, but
Okay this means its working good and not a fuse or broken wire to trunk release, this leave one of two things that may be wrong, the first and most common is someone forgot to reconnect the switch connector when they remove the cover for some reason or the switch is bad, remove the cover that the switch is on and see if the connector is plugged into the switch, if it is then you may have a bad switch but i think you will find the connector is not connected, hope this helps.

Heater fan will not blow
Looks like you have a fan motor problem,
Quick check go by he glove box and tap it
with your hand
little hard, if the motor
comeback the problem is the motor or a bad connection.
If the motor
don't comeback, then check the fuse that is located in the driver side of the driver cabin, the fuse is called ( ac )fuse, the rater is 10 amps. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at

I am not very handy
no, you're not being foolish. in this economy many "first time mechanics" are forced to do what they normally would pay someone else to do. it's not a difficult job but there are some things you will need to know. first, you will need a 3/8 drive ratchet and a spark plug socket. spark plug sockets are equipped with a special rubber insert to keep the plug from breaking during removal and installation. there are two main sizes of socket, 5/8 and 13/16. when you purchase your new plugs, the store clerk will be able to tell you the proper size of socket to use. while you're at the store, they sell small packets of anti-seize lubricant. you will want to put a small amount of this lubricant on the threads of the new plugs to keep them from seizing up. when removing the plug wires from the plugs, grip them by the boot and not by the actual wire, as this could damage the wire. simply grip the boot and pull in a slight "wiggling" motion and they should pop off. make sure you keep the wires in order. ( i recommened doing one plug at a time to keep them in order) after removal of old plugs, hand tighten new plugs, then tighten with ratchet. DO NOT overtighten! snug is good enough. put a small dab of petroleum jelly on your pinky finger and lubricate the opening of the spark plug wire boot. this will help ensure a secure fit at the end of the plug. you will know when the wire is on tight because you will feel or hear a "click" or "pop". that's all there is to it. good luck!

I bought the bulb for
For 2001 Toyota Avalon 3.0L EFI DOHC 6cyl check this procedure...
1.- Open the hood and prop it up to gain access to the headlight.
2.- Remove the bolts holding the headlight to the vehicle body, using a ratchet. There will be three bolts around the perimeter of the headlight.
3.- Pull the headlight out with moderate force and detach the headlight bulb wiring.
4.- Set the new headlight in place. Before pushing it all the way into the headlight socket, attach the headlight's wiring connectors.
5.- Push the new headlight completely in its socket and tighten the three bolts to hold it in place.
6.- Test the headlights to see whether they are working properly. If everything is fine, then close the hood. If the headlights aren't functioning, then double-check the connectors and make sure they are tight.
I hope this helps.

2002 Avalon ... Idled way
How many miles are on the vehicle? Off the bat this sounds like an IAC fault(Idle air control valve). I would consider replacing that. I am assuming the vehicle has had its proper maintenance i.e. tuneups etc. Make sure the battery terminals are clean as well but most likely it sounds like the IAC.
Thanks,
Lee

Dash lights show car with back lights on what does
Hello. Welcome to FixYa. Please allow me to assist you.
That icon is telling you that one of your taillamp or your brake light bulbs is burnt out. All you need to do is turn on the parking lights, and check to see if they all work. Then, have someone press the brakes whilst you observe the operation of the brake lights; also note to see if the brake light in the back window is working. Once you replace the burnt out bulb, the icon will reset itself, and will stay out.
Thanks for choosing FixYa for assistance today. If my advice helps you out, a 4-thumb rating would be greatly appreciated.
