My car overheated and began steaming so I pulled over.
The water was gone in a matter of seconds and I had refilled it the day before and so on. The blue ticking overheating sound starts on every time
The fan wont turn on and it was jump started in order to get it home quick.
The Ac wont turn on either that was the first problem that happened , the compressor is good because it was removed and manually checked

The transmission had been kind of like jumping on me for a while but I got used to it.

So far what has been replaced has been:
Fan Module Control
Air Condition pressure switch
Cooling fan control
thermal switch

Sounds like you may need a new Thermostat.

Get a Haynes or Chilterns manual and a new Thermostat for the carfrom a car parts place like Autozone. Its normally a simple opperation to change it.

several possable problems, with car cooled down,start engine and turn on a/c, this should make your cooling fan come on, if it doesn't problem is in that circuit or fan itself. if the cooling fan comes on, watch temp gauge when it reaches half way up gauge carefully go touch upper and lower hoses,both should be warm. if one is still cool that is a flow problem and could be the thermostat or a failing water pump.

Most likely you have a faulty Thermostat. If you know where the thermostat is a quick way to check it is to remove it and see if the problem continues. If not, buy a replacement thermostat and install it and your done. If the problem continues then you have a bigger problem that need a mechanic for diagnoses. The thermostat is usually located on the upper Radiator line where it connects to the motor.

I have replace the water pump, thermostat, radiator cap, antifreeze and purged it for air bubble, but my 2005 Buick Rendezvous still is running hot. The coolant in the radiator is circulating and rema

Well, I would say that the radiator would be next on your list, but usually the overflow is attached to the radiator, so that should be impossible to boil before radiator. How does the temperature gauge look? Even if any parts are hot to the touch that doesn't necessarily mean they are overheated. It may be that the system is still working out bubbles, hence the overflow boiling over.

What causes ny 2005 sangyong musso suv overheating engine problem

Maybe rust blocking radiator. Pull the radiator pipe off the bottom and flush it. Otherwise might have minor gasket blown. Hot gasses heats the water up. Use antifreeze (gives water a higher boiling point so makes driving a bit safer on the engine (wont seize if water is not boiling))

Vw beetle running hot and we cannot find a leak

The problem sounds like your radiator its 12 years old clogged with sediment and losing pressure at the cap or
vapor loss right through the aluminum you can't see it .Its a mist at driving speeds not at ideal .
Do a pressure test on the system 14.6 lbs per sq " also check the heater core both in and out hoses should be hot and have good water flow .
The problem isn't your water pump .
Also look at your spark plugs take them out . If they are burn white the vehicle is not getting enough fuel .

Temp line comes on and stays on

If it's flashing, it can mean it's overheating. STOP DRIVING. First Check the electrical connector, if it's plugged in, it should be ok. Next, pull the return line off the overflow and start the engine (with the engine cold) and the return line should almost immediately start flowing water, if not, your water pump is broken and not pumping and overheating your engine.

There is no radiator cap, the "overflow" is the radiator cap.

Coolant boiled and no check engine light!

You would need to check out the different cooling components. The radiator cap, thermostat, fan for radiator (car should run at 195 degrees), is anything blocking the face of the radiator, are any of the cooling hoses kinked or collapsed, is the water pump circulating the coolant, is thw belt still on the water pump?
