No one would know what that question is about

Center console or drivers. It\'s most like driver and you simply have a burned out light. However replacing it is a pain in most cars. You usually can not just reach behind like with tail lights but have to remove the whole lower panel. It least it not a Prizm. To change it bulbs you have to remove the glove box console, then the drivers side console just to remove the center console. I gave up and used heavy duty Velcro to hold a cigarette lighter powered LED light above the radio to light up the center console. You might try something similar for you dashboard. Also, just make sure they are not turned down since their brightness is adjustable.

Get the ignition switch replaced with a new one, sounds like somebody tried to steel the car at some point and broke the safety lock that keeps the key in.

If it works from the inside but not with the key, it could be a broken link between the lock cylinder and the door latch.

Lack of fuel injector control Improper Fuel Trim Bad Gas Mileage Possibly Ruin the Exhaust Converter if the fuel trim is rich The Front Sensors (ones closest to the motor) get replaced at 100,000 miles,before, if they fail or slow down on switching counts You know -- you can Google all the info & education you want to study on any subject Study OBD 2 Vehicle Systems & ALL the vehicles components That will keep you busy for the rest of your life,really There is that much info on the internet Codes have nothing to do with replacing parts Codes tell you the system that is out of range & has to be component tested to find a problem

The 2003 Toyota Avalon has a high beam bulb and a low beam bulb, so it is possible the low beam bulbs have burned out. Your low beams are bulb# 9006 Type A. You can see a diagram on how to change them here: http://www.toyota.com/t3Portal/document/om/OM41401U/pdf/7-3.pdf Another possibility is the fuses are blown. Each bulb has it's own fuse and you can see the fuse locations here: http://www.toyota.com/t3Portal/document/om/OM41401U/pdf/8.pdf These are your 2 most likely and easy-to-fix solutions, so hopefully your problem will be resolved by one of these. Good luck!

Maybe they have forgotten how they work?

Need to get fault codes for the vehicle. Generally the problem is a loose contact on the plug, be it under the seat or air bag on steering wheel.

If your car overheating that mean your head gasket blow. You will have less compression. Do test for compression.

Do you have normal compression, fuel pressure, and spark ?

Tap on starter with pipe ...you probably need starter
