Try in the bottom of the center console.

Open it remotely? Two clicks on the remote. Internally, child safety locks located on the back edge of the doors. With the rocker switch, they should all open.

Tough to tell from your description. I would check the strut mount. That is the top assembly that the spring seats against. The top rotates, or should. The night part puzzles me.

That knocking may be permanent internal damage due to low oil or a bearing. If u still have the knocking w oil full, get ready for some serious engine work. Think about how much u want to invest. Fixing the seal is 1 issue but u may have 2 very expensive issues. Rebuilt motor would be my suggestion. Good luck

I had a reliant that did the same thing I put in a manual choke control cable and used it for another year before I got rid of it for a newer car, hope this helps

It looks like you have the "Smart Key" (a small rectangular box) that does not look like a traditional key.
What you also have is a dead battery inside the Smart Key.
Look closely at the box; there is a little button on the side. Press it. This will release a small hidden key. After you remove the small key, use a small flat blade screwdriver to pry the case of the box open at the slot provided. Take the unit to a store that sells miniature batteries, and have it replaced. You will NOT have to reprogram it after the battery is changed. The life span of the miniature batteries is roughly 20 months, less if exposed to RFI, like sitting on a TV, a monitor, or other electrical device. The Smart key TRANSMITS all of the time, even when you do not press the buttons. This is why the battery only lasts 18-20 months. Let me know if this fixes your issue..

please replaced the sencor

You don't say if the wear is on the front or the rear, but I suspect it is on the front. I would take it someone other than the dealer, that specializes in front ends. If it is the front, there is certainly a problem there.

Coolant getting into #1cylinder could cause this.

Toyota Avalon 2006 vsc, skid light and check engine light on. Codes P0031, P0038 and code ,P2238

As compgeek09 stated, yes the DTC (diagnostic trouble code) should be found out first. And yes, AutoZone or Advance Auto Parts should be able to retrieve the code for you. Then you should be able to tell how severe the problem is. Yes, you should still be able to drive the vehicle. When the check engine light starts flashing is when you should stop driving the vehicle. Also, if your city/state require smog emissions, the vehicle will probably fail the test. Then you'll be required to repair the problem. Lastly, Vehicle Stability Control. That light is probably related to the check engine light since it sounds like they both came on at the same time. The VSC controls engine power. Thus, if there is a problem with the engine (check engine light), the VSC can't do it's job. Once the check engine light problem is repaired, the VSC light should go off as well.

Could be the cable is seized and needs replacing. Try WD40 spray on all the moving parts. even in the ends of the cable.
