Hi shanda, seen both problems you posted id suggest you have a machanic with a programable scanner plug into system and and check it, sounds like you could have a fuel pump going bad.

. But you do have to basically tear down the steering column and the entire dash assembly to get access to the heater core. If you are not mechanically inclined or do not have all the tools to do this, I would recommend you to take it to a professional that can do it.

Top off the coolant system and re-test.

Earth leads on motor is the first I would look for, there are a minimum of 3

lift the car off the ground remove tires, unclip the electrical wires, hook up an ohm meter to the wires leading to the wheel, spin the rotor, if the sensor is good you will see a pulse, your numbers will rise and fall as you turn the wheel if it does not do this it is faulty. here is a video for better clarification. sorry the camera isn't that great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Apq6rgfKvIY hope this helps I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/brock_d67526d2a834c47e

replace thermostat and or waterpump.

water pump faulty, low on coolent, could be temp sensor faulty too if it reads hot all the time, even when you know its cold (like first thing in the morning) loose belt on waterpump, clogged coolent system, maybe it needs flushed.

are the pad and rotor warn or warped, if they are it could be grabbing. Most likely I would check your brake fluid. Does the break pedal have a lot of play in it. Is it spongy or like a new car touchy. IF the breaks need to be pushed in a lot to stop or there is a lot of play in them then you could be low on fluid, have a rotor or bad issue, or your CMOS chip in your car is messing up. You can try to rest your on board system. Usually it requires you to disconnect the battery in the car for a few mins and you plug in back in. (just remove the red cable to break the circuit (remember don't drop it or it will shock you.) Then turn the car back on and reset the dash time and all that. Try your breaks now. Still the same, see someone.to get manuals and solutions to issues click heredodge.com

check coolant level at the radiator cap. disconnect the wire to the temperature sender unit . switch the ignition on and earth out the wire . If the gauge goes to full hot then replace the sender unit.

speed sensor is fitted to the abs system. if the abs system is fine with no faults coming up then it is down to the dash. now the dash is the most sensitive part, if you hit the dash to hard it can make this happen. also can make the connection to the dash and wiring come apart. braking the circuit. taking the dash out and cleaning the pins that connect the dash to the wiring can sort this out. failing this the speedo its self may be damaged and need replacing. you can hit the dash in an accident and you would not even know you have hit it. your brain does not register the movment.

You need to explain that at a repair shopNo way to guess at those issues.Seeing as how it overheated you should not beusing it at that moment on or you will obviouslyruin the motor & you know that & choose to dootherwiseIt overheated,you added coolant,then what.I would think you would call a repair shop for advice & to see if they were busy or willing to help you

Sounds like a faulty alternator.

the solution depends on where the water is leaking from. If it is leaking off the front of the engine from the water pump, then the pump may be bad, not circulating coolant which makes the car run hot. You haven't provided much of a description so it's hard to know what other options you have. But I would start with that. This assumes that there are no obvious leaks from one or more hoses that can be replaced.
