SOURCE: 1999 dodge caravan coolant bottle/ hoses

is it on the coolant bottle or the radiator?

on your post . you said radiator but on the thread topic, you pick coolant bottle.

anyway, if its the radiator, there are two big hose connected, one at the top and one at the bottom . then tehre is another small hose that is usually at the top where you put the radiator cap and this is the one going to the coolant bottle.

if your talking about the coolant bottle, there is one hose connected to the top where you put the radiator cap and the other one on the cover as an overflow hose.

it could be just open or another hose connected to it just to direct the water downwards. but it is not connected to anything.

i hope i answer your inquiry.

tnx 4 using fixya,

Car is running hot added coolant runs fine for a while today I was adding coolant to the reserve tank and saw a hose that is loose but can't find where it should be connected. When adding coolant it...
  • There are two hoses on an Antifreeze reservoir tank.
  • One is to allow escape in case of unexpected back pressure or overfill of the reservoir.
  • The other will be a hose that clamps on to the radiator right below the cap on a little spout coming off the fill neck of the radiator. This hose is the actual path the antifreeze takes when the radiator is low pressure pulls the antifreeze out of the reservoir to use.

  • Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa.

I actually have a 1996 gmc jimmy is it the same as a 1999 i need to find the thermostat
hi, if you are speaking of a 1999 gmc jimmy, yes, the engines in both vehicles use the same thermostat. the thermostat is located inside the thermostat housing which is connected to the upper radiator hose, and mounted on the top of the engine to the intake manifold. it maybe a plastic housing, or aluminum, it will have two bolts. follow the upper radiator hose away from the radiator and where it ends, is where the housing is.

Its more than likely the blend door not moving to the heat position. I'm not familiar with the location of the blend door in the 1999 GMC jimmy, since I'm not a mechanic and don't have a manual on that vehicle. If you can get to the blend door housing you might be able to move it physically.

Coolant resevoir
There is a feed hose under there that goes to the bottom of the reservoir. Look around the edge of the reservoir, and you'll see three locating screws, philips head. Remove these and you can tilt the reservoir up and out of the way to look and see if you can see a disconnected hose underneath.
