Default No heat on Idle and some lights

So I just got my durango yesterday and I am looking for some help. The heater only blows luke warm air when not driving and seemingly very little for being on high. The rear vents were blowing ice cold. Any ideas?
My second issue is that my abs light and my break light are on but the breaks pulse and the e brake is off. What should i look for or do to remedy this problem? Thanks for any Help!

for starters check your coolant levels. this may be the cause for your heater not getting warm. for the air flow from the fan, check in the diy section that talks about the blower resistor. you may need to replace that to get your blower working at full strength. for your brakes, check your brake fluid reservoir to make sure it is full.

the abs and brake lights do come on w/ low fluid, however the most common cause for them is a failed rear wheel speed sensor (check the fluid first but then look at the sensor) and after that is the output speed sensor on the transmission tailshaft

You could have a bad REC or bend door problem, Or just low on coolant. Do you know if you have an AUX coolant valve on the right side of the fame rail? Also check to see if you have a Thermostat stuck open too.
