new to forum, trying to chang/flush radiator for daughter. Usally i find a toggle bolt style screw. i can not find this on her car. Where is it located

 

If there isn't one in the bottom of the radiator, you could always just pull off the lower hose to drain the same amount of coolant.

 

unfortunitly the lower hose is about 6 inches from the bottom

 

the drain should be under the lower hose radiator hose, i agree about pulling lower hose to drain coolant, drain can break very easily when you try and loosen, you can get more access to hose by taking out fan, its not to hard , you remove upper crossmember above radiator think its 4 bolts and a couple of plastic pins that pull out ,unhook electric connection to fan , think theres 2 screws on side that need to be removed and clips on top you take off, then pull straight up to remove, when you put back in make sure holes line up with posts underneath, thats how i did mine

 

Hey Bills
Thanks for the response. Let me ask, is the draincock a FLAT piece of plastic? I see what looks like a flat black tab under the lower hous almost to the bottom. I think i can get a needlenose in there and turn it.

IF it is the Drain. It is Plastic and do not want to break something important.

thats it ,yes it is plastic, wouldn't recommend using pliers on it it can break off, i attached an exploded view of what drain looks like

 

I need your help find my AC Drain line for my 2001 Dodge Stratus RT. I have water in the drivers side but I can't find the drain line to clean it out!

Thanks
Jerry

 

don't know if it's the same as a sedan its kind of hidden in the middle behind and above the crossmember on backside of engine on firewall, putting car on ramps work best to get under there
