the reason that the heat would cease to work when the car overheats is that the car is low on coolant. coolant is warmed by the engine as it transfers heat away from the engine. the heated coolant passes through heater hose and through the heater core. The blower motor blows air through the heater core warming the air and pushes the warm air through the vents in the car to you. the heater core is a small radiator in the dashboard of most vehicles. If there isn't coolant in the car, the engine becomes too hot thus the overheating. a side effect of this is that the lack of coolant means that coolant cannot get to the heater core to be warmed to warm you

How do you test water pump on a 1997 Ford Taurus?
Take the thermostat out, start the car and let it idle, see if it over heats. With the thermostat out of your car, it should just constantly circulate water, making it take longer to heat up. If it heats up fast then chances are that your pump is out. DO NOT LET THE CAR REDLINE.
What does core?
A heater core in a vehicle takes some of the heat from the coolant and runs it through a heat exchanger. The blower in the car that blows hot air into your car runs through that heat exchanger which heats the air that enters your car.
