Loosing antifreeze
fix the water leak at the heater first. You may be loosing pressure in the radiator allowing the coolant to boil at a low temp. This will pass water to the overflow bottle which is when you will be able to smell it
Voltage indicator light is on
If you mean the battery light, chances are the alternator is not charging the battery.You can have it checked on the car at most auto parts stores.

P1698 DODGE - DTC Detected in Companion JTEC Mod
Gauges for 99 Pontiac Grand Am Not working right.
This is a ground problem. There are cluster grounds on the bolts that bolt the engine and trans together. You will have two of them one in the front under the front engine mounting bracket and one towards the back of the car almost right under the EGR. This is a common problem and requires a quite a bit of time to get to the two bolts to clean the connections on the grounding clusters. I ran into this problem after replacing my engine and it took me several hours before I finally found this problem. Good luck!
Overheating
Couple of possibilities here. One is the heater core bypass valve that allows the coolant to flow to the heater core. Make sure that the vacuum tube has not come off of it. Should be under the hood just on top of the blower motor assembly. Let the engine get hot and check to see if the hoses going to the heater core are getting hot coolant flowing through them.Does the air flow through the defroster, front vents, and floor vents when they are selected? If not, this can indicate a vacuum leak on the HVAC control panel or a failure of the switch.
The transmisson dumped all its fluid out
Is the vent plugged? This is almost the only thing that would allow it to build up enough pressure to dump the fluid. Are you using this unit for any heavy hauling, or pulling? I would really recommend having the tranny serviced, with new fluid and a filter change. Best of luck.
Steering locking up on 1999 caravan
The actuator portion of the column's mechanical locking system may be worn on the mechanism not allowing the same amount of clearance as it had when new, or you may have some issues with the power steering rack itself if equipped, or with valving with the more conventional recirculating steering gear.If you have the latter type and it was adjusted to remove excessive lash, there may be internal damage to the recirculating balls if the procedure was not done according to the published service procedures- this is a serious safety matter because you can all steering capabilities if that has been done. There have been a number of TSB's issued by Chrysler for ticking noises from the steering wheel area, and for some suspension noises when in motion that could at times present themsleves as resistance to turning the steering wheel both areas "could" be related to what you are experiencing. Not to mention it could also be corroded ball joints or bent/broken steering/suspension components..Unless you are able to essentially go through the steering mechanism component by component to isolate or rule out each potential source of the problem, you might find it best to bring in to a shop. The TSB's are just procedures, you would need to pay labor and parts unless the TSB specified otherwise.
