Hi Brandon

You need to check your fan clutch it may be weak.  If you have to replace it make sure you put the correct one there are  two or three of them in the after market than look the same but do not work properly.  You may not like this but its best to go to the dealer  with your vin # and get the correct one.  As to your plug coming of make sure it is set in properly.  If it was not set in correctly it will pop out.  If it broke off then you definitely need to address the overheating problem.
