I bet you live in a cold area.... I'd like someone to try putting a piece of tarp or plastic trash bag over the grill area of the car to keep the moving air directly off the radiator. If you've ever watched Ice Road Truckers, the big rigs all have some type of cover on the radiator grill to cut down on the area getting direct air.
The switch is the little one on the thermostat housing tiny one wire,
Heater valve cable broke the a valve that runs out in the engine compartment most time cable going to it do you have manual ac o Or automatic air control unit have. Numbers or red or blue line red for heater blue for ac look and see if valve is opening this valve runs water Through the heater core .let me know sometimes breaks or;freees up
Temp gauge switch is the small one on housing single wire. There efi temp swith also but he said gauge no reading. .kright or right
