Not common to your car in particular, but common.Unhook your battery each night to keep from draining the battery whilst you search out the problem.Put a test meter between the battery and the cable you took off to see how much of a short there is. Some things that I have found were:1) Some new replacement radios will drain a battery because they are on all the time, like most television sets today.2) I have a car, (and have had a few more) that the glove box , (being plastic) was warped, and the glove box light stayed on all the time. I had to remove the bulb. 3) An alarm system, and some are factory built in, can drain a battery.4) A trunk light, an under-the-hood light, or something else can do this.Be blessed.

Did you check your coolant level? If it gets low you won't get heat. Is the temperature getting completely up to the normal operating range? If the thermostat sticks open your engine won't get to normal range and you won't have good heat.

check the switch on the brake pedal arm under the dash

idle speed control needs ajustment screw on top of the throttle body needs to be turned counter clook wise just a hare

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve, or PCV valve, is a one-way valve that assists with the continual evacuation of gases from inside a gasoline/petrol internal combustion engine's crankcase.if you need a Car Key Replacement i think you can click here: car key replacementhope it can help you and good luck

Cluster warning lights

Whenever this warning or any other stays on in the dash it is indicating that the systems control module has detected a fault, it then disables the system as long as the light is on. You must now have the dealer hook up a special electronic diagnostic tool and "scan" the system for the fault code that is stored for the problem(s)

make sure thermostate is good you need to leave it in there you can buy a lower cooling thermostate you prob. have a 180 degree and can get a 160 i would check the cooling fan also if its mechanical these r going to wear out at some time and if it electric theyb wear out as well and make sure fan shroud id tight agaist radiator and not broke anywher

First of all check the switch from which you turn the AC on/off .
When you operate the air conditioning switch on and off with the engine running, with the hood open ask someone to listen and see if he can hear the air conditioning compressor cycle on and off each time you press the ac button.If the air conditioning compressor doesn't engage you will have no AC.More often this kind of problem can be traced depending on the behavior of your car air conditioning system. If your car air conditioning vents initially blows out cold air then after quite a while it starts to blow out warm air then the problem can be traced to a freezing up expansion valve. If your air conditioning expansion valve freezes up the flow of refrigerant to the air conditioning lines will be block temporarily thus causing your car air conditioning vents to blow out cold air initially then afterward begins to blow out warm air. Your car expansion valve can only be freezing up if there is moisture on the refrigerant and this moisture can only be entering via leak on your car air conditioning system. 
check underneath the vehicle for a pool of green-blue liquid which indicates a coolant leak.
If your car air conditioning vents blows out warm air in a random order then this suggest that the problem is a failing compressor or an air conditioning electrical problem.

During failing of compressor the refrigerant will stop flowing during the down time thus causing your air conditioning vents to blows out warm air sometime, also if you have car air conditioning electrical problem, usually an air conditioning wire is loose thus affect the air conditioning components to stop working during the time when a wire lost contact and have a broken circuit, consequently your car air conditioning blows out warm air.
Adjust the climate controls next. If they seem to work fine but have no effect on the air then the problem is probably as easy as a blown fuse. If the controls do not feel right, then the problem is probably with the control panel. If you cannot hear the usual blowing sound that accompanies the air then the problem is likely with the blower motor. Find the fuse box in a Mercury Villager on the driver's side. It is below and to the left of the steering wheel near the brake. You will have to use the fuse guide on the inside of the fuse box cover to locate the exact fuse but it will be brown in color. Disconnect the black negative battery cable before looking at the control panel. Find the ashtray and cup holder in the center of the dashboard and release the two tabs to remove it. Remove the glove box to get to the blower motor in a Mercury Villager. Unbolt the brace holding the instrument panel in place. Disconnect the AC hose which attaches to the left side of the motor, and the electrical connection. Remove the three screws holding the motor in place and pull it out.
This all possibilities has to be checked.  Thanks. keep updated for any more query.you can rate this solution and show your appreciation.

it is a code for the cat converter is not working properly there is a guy on y tube showing how to clean it but i have never tried it or ever seen it done

this is what i came up with while looking into same issue with my 2000 merc villager 3.3l. "two bleeder screws one on the thermostat housing one somewhere on opposite side of engine fill overflow bottle start engine open the bolt slowly until you see bubbles or antifreeze when no bubbles no air tighten bolt back up and done"

The downstream sensor will be AFTER the cat. It may be on the top of the exhaust pipe and hard to see. As a rule it is close to the convertor.
