Default 2002 Stratus; heating and cooling issues

When i turn on the headlights at night, while the heater is on, the heater shuts off and the defrost comes on. Only blowing cold air. So during the winter, we have no heat in the car. Also, The fan only works on high when running the air during the day. I've checked all the fuses under the dash, and under the hood. Can someone please help!!!!!
