When I turn the heat on in my 2001 sebring it never warms up and blows cold the entire time. I was thinking of replacing the thermostat as a start. Any other suggestions.

I would have the heater core checked. It could be something as simple as a fuse but unlikely. not likely to be the thermostat as that would make the car overheat if it wasnt working.

I would expect this is more to do with a low coolant level than an electrical issue. If your coolant is low when you turn off the headlights your engine revs will increase slightly increasing the pressure in your coolant system and pushing fluid into your heater core.
Check your coolant reservior when your car is cold (first thing in the morning), it should be at max cold. If it is lower than this you may not have warm coolant in your heater core.
If this is the case...then where did your coolant go?
Most likely the thermostat/temp housing is leaking...replaced both on my two 2001 sebrings...common issue..~$150 for parts and a little awkward to install but fairly easy fix.
check the coolant level in the radiator when the engine is cold,fill it to the top,and also check the coolant level in the overflow container and fill it to the full line on its side
Two things . 1 - Make sure your antifreeze level is correct and 2- when at idle 6-700 RPM these cars do tend not to blow a lot of warm air. If this doesn't help you might want to try a new thermostat.
