There is no power going to my heater controls, and my speedometer doesn't work but my tachometer does and my check engine light is on and all of this started around the same time after the drivers side door was replaced

The speedo could be a speed sensor issue. That could turn the check engine light on. Have the computer scanned to identify the trouble code. As far as the heater control, check fuses.

Most parts stores will scan the computer for free, so have that done and let me know what you find.

And just so you are aware, the heater doesn't blow hot or change from the vent to anywhere else.
