I have a 1997 neon m: 157k started overheating about a month ago, replaced the thermostat, ran fine for a few days started over heating again. Found out fan sensor needed to be replace, done. Ever since the sensor was replaced the battery will not hold a charge, bought new battery, replaced alternator. If jumped will only stay started for about 6 minutes. What else could be causing this problem please advise asap.
