It should be on the passenger-side of the bottom of the radiator, facing the rear of the Focus. If not you will need to remove the lower radiator hose.

The drain plug is probably in the lower level on the engine block or on the lower lever on the refrigerator

SOURCE: Where is the coolant block drain plug located on

None on the block, other than freeze plugs...
The only drain is on the bottom of the radiator (you knew that)...

I installed a Prestone motor flush kit and it flushes just fine, but does not "empty" the engine cavities. This is better, anyway.

You have to splice a "Tee" fitting into a convenient heater hose (highest one).

Hope this helps..

On the driver side of the radiator bottom where the hose is located there is a valve that you turn to drain the coolant, just like a faucet valve.

SOURCE: Where is engine coolant drain plug located on 3.4

Should be at the bottom of the radiator. If you are unable to find it, just disconnect the bottom radiator hose, from the radiator, and reconnect it once finished draining.

2005 Kia Carnival. Q1 coolant capacity Q2 where is the engine block drain plug located

As you have not said which engine is fitted luckily it is the same for both the 2.9CRDI and the 2.5,the coolant capacity is 9.4ltrs, as far as I know there isn't an engine drain plug for the coolant, removing a hose is normally enough to drain it when you open the top engine coolant cap (DO NOT OPEN ON HOT ENGINE).

Coolant drain plug location

If you can't find the drain plug, maybe there isn't one. Put a container under the hose you need to change. Undo the clips at each end and pull the hose off one end. Point the loose end of the hose so the coolant goes into the container you put under the car. Replace the hose with the new one, do the clips up and then pour the coolant back in to the system (IF it is clean and not full of bits of dirt etc!) If it is dirty, then use clean water and antifreeze to make a 50 / 50 mixture and fill the system with that. Be careful not to pour the mixture in too quickly or you will make an air lock in the system.

I need help to find the drain plug for the coolant on the radiator so I can flush it out. Do you have a picture for me to find it. I do apprieciate your help on this matter

Drain plug is located on the driver's side of the radiator, It's common got the drain plug's O rings to go bad and promote leaking after it's been removed due to time and heat.
Your better off by doing what most Techs do by unhooking the lower radiator hose from the passenger side to ensure no additional work is needed to flush out the coolant from the radiator.
Thank you for using fixya and be safe.

2001 sable where is the radiator drain?

The radiator drain is going to be on the driver's side along the bottom of the radiator. Best is to remove the lower radiator hose to drain the coolant. Common for the plastic drain plug to break when trying to remove causing you more work and to go out and locate a replacement drain plug. That's why 99% of garages will drain the coolant from the lower radiator hose.
Thank you for using Fixya and good luck

Is the water temp sensor hard to replace, I don't no the location. Could you let me know where it is located? Thank you

Follow the large hose coming out of the top of the radiator. That should take you to the thermostat housing. You need to place a container under the drain spigot on the radiator and drain a gallon or so of coolant from the radiator so that coolant doesn't run out when you remove the housing. Remove the housing (usually don't need to remove hose) and scrap clean both surfaces of the housing and the block. Take not of the position of the gasket and thermostat you are removing. Replace thermostat, put a small amount of gasket sealing material on both surfaces, put new gasket on and tighten the housing back down. Some engines have a small plug in the housing. You have to remove the plug as you replace coolant back into the motor until you see coolant running out of the hole and then put the plug back in.
Here is a video that show the gist of changing one.
