How often should the furnace turn cycle on and off?
The furnace that is working properly should cycle on and off after every 3 - 4 hours.
How do you know if you need to replace your thermostat?
Well, I don't mean to sound snarky, but when it doesn't work anymore! The thermostat, in its most basic form, is just a switch to turn the heater on. If the heater turns on and off like it should, it is OK. If the heater doesn't turn on, or worse yet doesn't turn off, you should look into getting a new one. Some tests you can perform: Heater doesn't turn on? Get at the wires running to the thermostat and touch the two control wires (You will have to look into the furnace documentation if you have more than two wires) together. If the furnace clicks on, it's the thermostat. If it doesn't, it's the furnace. Heater doesn't turn off? When the furnace is running disconnect one of the control wires. If the furnace shuts off it's the thermostat. If it doesn't, it's the furnace.

Where is the furnace located to light pilot light?
It could be different for every house.A side note: I'm taking that you mean where is the pilot light located in side your furnace? Depending on the of your furnace it's very possible your furnace does not have a pilot light, in fact it may have an ignition system with a flame management sensor. Try this; turn off the system with the main electrical cutoff switch, wait for about 2 minuets, turn on the switch raise the temperature of the thermostat high enough for the furnace to come on, this should work if it does not try one more time. If that fails call a HVAC & R technician.
New furnace and thermostat now air conditioner compressor doesn't work?
If you replaced the furnace and thermostat this past winter, and now the A/C doesn't work. You probably just have a loose control wire. Check the yellow wire at the stat. It should be on the Y terminal. Next, look inside the furnace at the terminal block. The condenser wire should have two conductors. One hooks up with the yellow wire on the Y terminal of the terminal block. The other hooks to the C terminal. Always turn off the breaker to the furnace before working on any wiring. No need to fry the transformer.
How does a thermostat extinguish or light a furnace?
