I belive, in most cars, there is a fuse that can disable the door buzzer by removing it. check your fuse panel

Does light come on using dome switch? If not check fuses(courtesy light)

When you say you have no heat is this referring to nothing when control is turned on? Does fan work? or you have no hot air at all.If no fan could be a blown fuse [blower motor] thermostat could be installed incorrectly or faulty. Could be a faulty heater control valve if you have one not allowing hot water into heater core.

Could possibly be the results of bad gas (old,stale)from sitting.Gas has a tendency of breaking down over a long period of time.

Engine Compartment Fuse Box

• Open the hood and look on the wall of the engine compartment on the driver's side. About 3/4 of the way from the front of the car to the windshield you will see a large black box. This is the engine compartment fuse and relay box. Undo the clip holding down the front of the box and open it; it is hinged on the back so the top opens like a door.

Passenger Compartment Fuse Box

• Open the driver's side door. Kneel down on the ground by the foot pedals. Look on the driver's side wall under the dashboard. You will see a small black box right by the door. This is the passenger compartment fuse box. This box also has a clip to keep the front closed and hinges on the back.
