You might be able to still buy them from Ford, often times you have to have them custom made.

SOURCE: If my rear line coolant leaked, but my radiator

If you're rear line is leaking your radiator can't be full. Not sure what you mean blow but yes will cause it to overheat. The rear line comes from the same radiator and you should be low. Are you looking in your overflow bottle where you add your coolant and seeing fluid in there is that why you think it is full?

SOURCE: Coolant lines leading to rear heater are rotting

locate the hose connections at the source. it may be possible to jumper one connection to the other with a new section of hose, effectively eliminating the rear heater.

2002 SEDONA and it just started over heating to red line recently. when hot we shut motor off we noticed upper and lower radiator hoses are colapased. we changed out the thermostat and radiator cap.

Sedona isn't prone to overheating except at times of coolant loss which older models are prone to due to corrosion of the steel pipes supplying the rear heater.

I suggest you check those pipes thoroughly.

My kia sedona 2003 is overheating is it the water pump

Probably not the water pump. The most common cause is rusted out/leaking underbody heater rear heater lines. The steel portions of the lines rust and leak coolant. The low coolant level will cause the engine to overheat. If overheated repeatedly these engines will usually warp the cylinder heads. This will cause severe overheating and may damage the radiator and other components due to combustion gasses entering the cooling system. A cooling system pressure test should be done to check for external leaks, and a block test can be done to check for the presence of combustion gasses entering the cooling system.Make sure to check coolant level in the radiator when cold, NOT in the reservoir on the inner fender. This could also be caused by something as simple as a thermostat or radiator fans that aren't working.

Coolant leaking from back where spare tire is in 1998 ford expeditin

Of course you have a heater core in the rear on the left side. And you could have a leak in one of the lines going to the core. Get under the EX with a light and look carfully for a rusted line.

You may be able to braze (2) 1/2 in. copper 90 degree water fittings back to back to install as a jumper. Install jumper well ahead of bad hoses. I have never seen a stopped up heater core. Replace any suspect hoses and temp control valves.

KIA SEDONA HAS REAR HEAT BUT NOT FRONT HEAT BLOWERS WORK BUT ONLY COLD AIR COMES IN FRONT

This could be a serious problem. Check your coolant level, then check the rear heater lines that supply coolant to the rear heater. They run under the van, over time they rust and leak. Because it is under and to the rear of the van it is hard to notice, i.e. coolant puddles and smell. But please note that this engine has aluminum cylinder heads and does not take kindly to being overheated.

Leak

it is most likely the hose that goes into the heater core next to the firewall hard to see it though. The things have a tendency to leak form the bottom of the line. more so when on, and circulation less.

Coolant fill procedure

You may have air trapped in the system or rust plugging up the rear heater core. core, if it is just an air problem do this: Fill the radiator and the coolant recovery tank as full as possible, then raise the front of van as high as you can with a floor jack, run the engine until it is at normal operating temperature, let it cool down, running water over the radiator speeds this up, this should purge the air out of te system and cure your issue with the rear heater. Make sure you have a good radiator cap if it is the original one replace it. If the system still has no flow to the rear pull out the rear heater core and flush it out or replace it.
