Where is the DRL sensor
There isn't a "sensor" per say. The DRL's are controlled by a microprocessor on the instrument cluster. The processor looks for a voltage drop on the ground side of the headlamp circuit. If it see's voltage it will ground the DRL relay.
The DRL relay is under/behind the drivers side headlamp assembly. It will have two orange, black, blue, and green w/ black wires at the connector.

Key goes into ignition but
while you SLIGHTLY turn the steering wheel, try to turn the key-do not force the key, you do not want to break it.
Rear electrical
Check the fuses first. Either probe each fuse with a test light, or remove each one and physically check them. Physically check the wires going back. Test light them as well for power Check the gounds with the test light. If all are okay, then I would look t replace the turn signal multifunction switch. Let us know what you get in results so we can share our experiences. Thank you.
It feels like the clutch may be going out
you may have a hydrolic clutch .. check for a master cylinder similar to the brake master cyclinder near the clutch pdl .. it may be low on fluid .. .. i am assuming you meant that the clutch had to be near the floor before DISengaging .. if its a mechanical hookup instead then there is an adjustment for that (free pedal adj)
if the adjustment is out of range then you could have a bad throwout bearing .. but usually they make noise when the go bad ..
Severe oil leak
It could be a bad oil pressure sending unit, valve cover gasket, timing chain cover gasket or oil pan gasket. If there's white smoke coming out of the exhaust it could have a blown head gasket but it's not a common problem with that engine.
