I need to see how the hoses are hooked up to the radiator in the front of the vehicle

Draining Procedure

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the surge tank cap.
3. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
4. Remove the air deflector. Refer to Front Air Deflector Replacement in Body Front End.
5. Place a drain pan under the lower radiator hose connection at the bottom of the radiator.
6. Using J 38185 slide the hose clamp back on the hose.
7. Slowly remove the lower radiator hose and drain the coolant into the drain pan.
8. Inspect the engine coolant for the following conditions:

?€¢
Discolored appearance -- follow the flush procedure. Refer to Flushing .

?€¢
Normal in appearance -- follow the filling procedure.

VIN S Engine

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the precautions section.
2. Drain the cooling system.
3. Remove or disconnect the following:

• Splash shield
• Lower heater hose
• Radiator lower tube bolt
• Radiator upper front tube bolt
• Air cleaner assembly
• Battery and tray
• Water pump belt
• Upper radiator hose
• Engine vent hose
• Transaxle 10 pin connector
• Radiator bypass hose assembly

To install:

1. Install or connect the following:

• Water pump
• Connector hose
• Water pump mounting nuts and tighten them to 15-22 ft. lbs. (20-30 Nm)
• A/C compressor brace, if equipped, and tighten the nuts to 15-22 ft. lbs. (20-30 Nm)
• Thermostat housing
• Radiator bypass hose assembly
• Transaxle 10 pin connector
• Engine vent hose
• Upper radiator hose
• Water pump belt
• Battery and tray
• Air cleaner assembly
• Radiator upper front tube bolt
• Radiator lower tube bolt
• Lower heater hose
• Splash shield

2. Fill the cooling system.
3. Start the engine and check for leaks.

Open the hood and find the radiator.
Get help and a flashlight if you need to.
The radiator should have two black hoses attached to it, one on top and one on the bottom.
Those hoses are about 2 inches in diameter, maybe a little larger.
On cars made up to about 1985, the thermostat was found at the engine end of the top radiator hose.
There would have been a bell-shaped housing with the thermostat inside.
These were usually rear wheel drive vehicles.
Cars made since the mid-80's and particularly front wheel drive vehicles have the the thermostat located at the engine end of the lower radiator hose.

On the passenger side of the vehicle. look at the 2 A/C lines coming from the front of the vehicle from the condensor. (to the left of the radiator if standing in front of the vehicle) one of thoses 2 hoses wil be turning downward in about a 90 degree angle and it is right on one of thoses 2 hoses. I believe there is a radiator hose right above it blocking your view of it (pretty sure it's a radiator hose but know for sure there is a hose blocking the view). So basically right behind the radiator on the passenger side directly on one of the 2 A/C lines going towards the back of the vehicle. Best I can explain. Hope this helps and good luck.

Hello,
The location of the thermostat for most vehicle.

Stand in front of the car with the hood open, you'll see a black hose hooked to the upper side of the
radiator.( about 2 inch in diameter, newer vehicles about 1 and 1/2 inch, and newer small cars
about 1 and 1/4 inch. ) Follow the hose to the other end, it connects to the thermostat housing. The thermostat is inside of the housing.( the hose usually goes to the air intake manifold, but some
housings are on the side or back of the engine. )

I hope this helps you.

SMALL COOLANT HOSES ON RADIATOR OVERFLOW JUG LOCATION. BACK SMALL HOSE ON OVERFLOW JUG GOES TO THERMOSTAT HOUSING THE SMALL FRONT HOSE ON OVER FLOW JUG GOES TO RADIATOR.LOOK AT TOP RADIATOR ON PASSENGER SIDE YOU WILL SEE SMALL TUBE ON RADIATOR THATS WHERE OTHER SMALL HOSE GOES.

Yes, that is the upper radiator hose.

front of engine behind pully see water hose on top of radiator follow hose and you have found the pump.

Check this procedure to how to replace a water pump (DIY Complexity: Moderate / Time: 3.5 hours):

Parts:
1. Water Pump

Tools:
1. Screwdriver
2. Scraper
3. 3/8 in. Drive Ratchet
4. Cooling System Pressure Tester
5. Needle Nose Pliers
6. Socket Set
7. Radiator Hook Tool

Supplies:
1. Coolant
2. Silicone Sealant

Steps:
Step 1 With the engine off and cold, open the hood and locate the vehicle’s water pump.
o Tip: Safety Tip:Always wear safety glasses when working on your vehicle. Wear other personal protective equipment (PPE) when necessary, for example latex gloves or safety shoes.
o Tip: Before removing the radiator cap, squeeze the upper radiator hose to verify that the cooling system is not pressurized.

Step 2 Remove the radiator cap.

Step 3 Install cooling system pressure tester. Apply the pressure indicated on the radiator cap or in the owner’s manual.

Step 4 Inspect cooling system components for leaks.

Step 5 Place a drain pan under the radiator. Open drain valve or remove the lower radiator hose to drain cooling system.
o Tip: Depending on the vehicle, lifting the vehicle may be required to gain access to the lower radiator hose.

Step 6 Remove the drive belts or serpentine belt.

Step 7 Remove any hoses connected to water pump.

Step 8 Unbolt water pump from engine. Remove the water pump.

Step 9 Using a gasket scraper, clean the mating surface on the engine block.

Step 10 Install new water pump and new gasket. Tighten bolts to manufacturer’s specifications.
o Tip: You may want to use a light bead of silicone designed for water pumps.

Step 11 Re-install any hoses and belts that were removed.

Step 12 Re-install drain plug or lower radiator hose.
o Tip: Squeeze the radiator hose. If it feels soft you may want to replace the hose at this time. Always use new hose clamps.

Step 13 Refill radiator with a 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water, then pressure test the cooling system and check for leaks.

Step 14 Fill overflow reservoir with same mixture.

Step 15 Leave the radiator cap off, start engine and let it idle. You should see the system“burping” bubbles of air. Refill the radiator to the top.
o Tip: Most air is expelled after a couple minutes of idling. Be cautious of potentially hot fluid overflowing.

Step 16 Install radiator cap.

Step 17 Road test vehicle, keep an eye on the engine temp gauge if vehicle runs hot, there still might be an air pocket in the cooling system. The cooling system should be topped off after vehicle has fully cooled down.

Good luck.
