2000 ford taurus dumping coolant

Considering dash board needs to be moved, not unrealistic, but shop around....dash doesn't have come completely out as some shops will claim...

This is caused by an overheated transmission, the overheating is caused by an internal failure of a severe overloading of the transmission like towing.

this car is a nightmare mechanically,i had a 2000 taurus and it isnt worth a nickle, if you arent paying on it get it running and dump it, from the heater core to theheads cracking to the transmission it will haunt you with issues, fixed the same vacuum hose on mine never knew where it went, good luck

service engine light, i hate this light, dump this car if it is anything to do with a misfire

Hello: There are two metal pipes on the back of the engine thar carry the coolant from the driver side of the engine to the heater core and back to the engine. It is possible they may be rusted out. Also it could be head gasket failure, When it comes out check the coolant overflow tank on the passenger side under the hood and see/hear if it is gurgling. The overflow tank hose may be stopped up or it could be the wrong radiator cap. Hope this will give you a place to start. The radiator cap should be rated at 15psi

The cabin fuse box is located under the dash on the drivers side and the main fuse box is under the hood in the front of the engine above the radiator on the drivers side

add water to the overflow tank... not directly into radiator.... hopefull that will get her to a service station... the water pump may have failed and dumped out the antifreeze

You might try testing the power that leads into the insturment panel. You can remove the hole radio assembly by bending a wire coat hanger enough to get it into the two holes on the sides. When you pull it out, you will have depressed a couple of clips. The power switch is connected to the left side in the back of the unit. Hope this helps.

I don't have the same coolant system that Ford has listed, my is different for my 2000 Ford Taurus SE 6cyl 3.0L. Where can we find the right part. I want to the junk yard 3 years ago and find one but the problem with that one is the top keep popping off. I have replaced the top three times and I am pissed because I love my car but I keep having to spend money on this system. H.E.L.P!!

There are no guarantees when it comes to a rebuilt transmission or anything. They usually have a warranty for the work all depending on the mileage afterwards. Is it over it? Most likely the gaskets need replacing and the bolts tightened again.
