No heat or interior lights...

Anyone have any ideas as to why I have no heat and no interior lights?
1) Heat. I'm pretty sure that the temp. lever that goes through the dash to the firewall is connected (the radio's not installed and it appears to be connected). Ideas as to why my car's frigid even after the engine's warmed up a bit?
2) Dash lights. The actual instrument panel lights work, but the rest of the dash (temp, circulation, hazard, recirc, A/C, defrost, overhead cabin light and the light behind the rearview mirror, the power window buttons, etc.) do not. Apparently, sometimes they flicker on briefly (my dad experienced this), so I don't think that the lights are bad. Might they be connected to the headlight switch? I heard that if the rheostat next to the directional signal switch is bad, the lights don't work--is this very likely? I tried adjusting it and there was still no light, so it's not that the lights are just turned down. If it's bad, will a rheostat from an '89 900S fit and what do I need to do to install it?
(my previous post on this is linked below)
TIA,
Tim B.
