For full features; Go to Radiator Flushing
Hello everyone, this is my 2nd time using this site. I'm getting to like
this. However, I'm not liking my car. :banghead: I need to flush the
radiator, as I have been recommended because my heater is not working. Fan
blows and all, but the air barely warms up, and as the winter comes in, I'm
getting worried.
I have a 97 taurus and can't figure out where the drain plug is. I found
dozens of generic draining procedures, but if I can't find the plug, what
do I do? I don't want to just put the hose into the reservoir and let it
run all day long.
Please help!
Thanks

if u cant find your plug then just undo the return hose at the bottom of
the radiator, be ready to catch alot of water though. did u buy a bottle of
radiator flush?

lol a ford taurus, my mom had that same car and had the same problem, looks
like it is deffinatly clogged.
If you have an aluminum radiator, and your antifreeze "wore out" meaning
the corrosion resistant properties are gone...you could be looking at a new
radiator as well. Have it reversed flushed or bring it to a dealer for a
second opinion if you'd like. Good luck
