Electrical issues with Ford Focus

I’m having a number of electrical problems with my 2001 Ford Focus. First the speedo sensor went - causing the car to have a slight drop in power and the speedo to stop working – then the heater packed in. What should I get fixed first?

The speed sensor is the first thing to get fixed. What usually happens is the oil gasket to it fails. The heater valve may be a separate issue.
