If you didn't bleed the air from the cooling system after changing the t-stat, that is your problem.

you may have a coolant leak somewhere. The lack of heat, temp reading high and low coolant light on all indicate air in the system.

You need to pressurize the cooling system, and listen for where the hissing is coming from. Common coolant leak area on your car is the "quick connect" nipple on the drivers side end of the intake near the t-stat housing.
