Sounds like a battey issue. Sometimes these trickle chargers don't exactlly have to deep cycle setting usually needed to charge automotive grade batteries. Take you battery to a local parts store to have it checked. The service is free, and if the bettery is gone, they can assist you. The battery would be the only logical thing to see first off. One being that Acid filled batteries are designed for everyday use, and once used once, depend on a fresh charge and a fairly regular basis. Another thing with acid filled batteries, not every one you get will be of the utmost quality. Since most use a standard lead cell battery, they tend to be less tollerant to heat and will fail regularly.
Make sure you check the battery before you make any purchase, because once a battery is installed, regardless if you have tried cranking to car, it is considered to be installed.
I told you the most basic things to do, because these are the free things. I like free, and I hope this gets you going in the right direction.
I had a something similar to this happen to a girlfriend of mine. She has a 98 escort and it ran out of gas and the service engine soon light came on after she filled it up. If this is what your talking about check your owners manual. Most of the time if there is really nothing wrong with car you can drive it around ( Generally 20 min in town and 10 on the hwy with 4 idle periods (4 times of the engine being at idle) - do not cut engine off) and the light will go off. The rough idle code most likely happened when the engine ran roughly because. it was running out of gas.
The overheating is caused by the sludge. It is very easy to correct this problem. Remove the radiator cap and open the drain valve at the bottom of radiator. If possible, remove the reservoir and flush out with water. Make sure to get all sludge out of reservoir, then reinstall. Once the radiator stops draining, insert water hose (without nozzle) and turn water on. Keep the drain valve open. Run water through radiator until it runs clear. Once it runs clear, start the engine and let it run while keeping the water running through radiator. Allow engine to run until the thermostat opens up. Continue running water through radiator with engine running until the water from drain runs clear. Once you have done that, turn off the engine. Close the drain valve and refill radiator with proper mixture of coolant and water. Once radiator is filled, start engine and let circulate through engine. Coolant level will drop as the coolant starts circulating. Shut off engine and top off radiator. Fill the reservoir with the required amount of coolant. Testing the coolant at least once a year will help prevent this from happening again. Coolant should be replace a minimum of five years, less if coolant bottle specifies.
Most cars and trucks are set for the A/C to run in defrost. Even if you have the temp at hot. The air will pass through the evaporator core first witch draws moisture out of theair. That is why you see water dripping out of a car with the air on and sitting at one place.
The dry air makes the defroster work faster. It is a safety feature.
the alternator ground must be loose... try tracing the both negative and positive... tighten the connection... if problem persists try replacing the alternator
