Hi Amie:
I'm not specifically familiar with your vehicle, but generally speaking, the drain is located at the bottom of the radiator, usually disguised as a little "T" shaped fitting and located where it's almost (but not quite) impossible to get at without skinning your knuckles.
There will be a hole in the centre and when you unscrew it (counterclockwise) the coolant will drain out the hole.
Tip:....... open the radiator cap (COLD) and it will drain way faster.
Here is the procedure: Remove radiator cap, Drain coolant, remove drain plug located at bottom of radiator. Remove upper and lower radiator hoses, Remove electric fans mounting 4 bolts and disconnect electrical plug connection, Remove Hi & Lo transmission cooler lines connected behind radiator and finally, remove upper radiator mounting bolts located on top and remove radiator upward.
Hello. Here a non-photo diagram. Hope this helps!!!
The thermostat is located on the side of the water pump, the water pump
is located just above the a/c compressor, the thermostat is fed coolant
from the radiators lower radiator hose.
Thermostat :
1. drain coolant and tighten drain plug ( easier method : remove
radiator cap, get big drain pan, place drain pan under lower radiator
hose to radiator connection, remove clamp, slowly remove hose, allow
coolant to drain into pan, now is a good time to remove radiator hose
and clamp from thermostat housing )
2. remove thermostat cover / cap ( easiest to get at this when front of
car is supported by jack stands and right hand side lower cover is
removed ).
3. thermostat cap is held on by 3 bolts / remove thermostat.
You will notice that the thermostat's air bleed hole is pointing up and lines up with notch in water pump housing,,
ATTENTION :failure to install new thermostat in the correct location will cause engine to overheat.
1. install new thermostat to water pump, make sure air bleed hole lines
up with notch, install and tighten bolts, install a new lower radiator
hose, fill cooling system.
radiator drain plug located lower corner of the radiator.no radiator cap means you have seal type cooling system your coolant overflow jug is where you add coolant.your radiator cap is the overflow jug cap.
Radiator drain plug is on the driver side of the car on the bottom of the radiator. It can be tricky to get to it, you should see a white cap or black cap with ends to put pliers on it
Drain plug is located in lower side of radiator. While your engine is cold and off, open your radiator drain plug and filling cap. In minutes your radiator will empty.Then fill up your radiator.
theres a drain plug located at the bottom of the radiator to drain it,heres a picture of the radiator to help you, hope this helps.the drain is on the driverside oppisite side of the radiator cap and is on the backside,
Should be a drain **** at the bottom of the radiator that unscrews out. It looks like a wing nut has been welded to a bolt on the end of it. Another way to do this is just pull off the bottom hose.
If you face the the engine bay, to the right of the engine, look down. You will see a small white plug. Reach down with your left arm; note a big oversized arm may not fit. I'm 5'10", 195 lbs and I got my arm down to the top of my upper arm. Ensure you have a pan to catch the fluid.
The challenge is locating the hole to replace the plug.
