First off, you can get a battery hold down to secure the battery inside the tray. Second, you need to see why the cable is loose, worn battery post or cable end needs to be replaced. As for the low coolant light, there should be a sensor in the reservoir, unplug the 2 wire connector and see if the light goes off. If it does, the sensor is shorted and needs to be replaced. The blower motor, start by unplugging the 2 wire connector and connecting the clip of a 12 volt test light into one of the terminals, touch the probe to the other. Turn the key on engine off, turn the blower motor to high speed. If the test light comes on bright, replace blower motor. If the light comes on dim or not at all, post back and we'll go further. Note, all of these parts, with possible exception to the coolant level sensor, should be available aftermarket.

I'm a little confused on what you've replaced so far. It looks like a fuse, blower motor and some type of switch. Did you mean blower motor resistor for the switch?

Check the connector like Steve said, there should be 2 wires, dark brown - power and dark brown with a black tracer - ground. If the brown wire has power plug it back in, turn on the blower and probe the connecter. Is there power on 1 side, 2 sides or no sides?

If there is 12v on both sides of the connecter, take a jumper and ground the brown w/black wire while the connector is plugged in and system on.... Does the motor come on?

Do those tests & let us know the results...............
