check thermostat and/or water pump
It runs through the radiator to cool. It comes in through one of the hoses attached near the bottom of the radiator
It is the radiator warning light. Usually it indicates low radiator fluid level. I have had this come on when I have had some minor radiator leaks leading to radiator coolant level going down.
It comes in many colors. Green, red, pink, orange, blue, yellow, purple.
five years or 100000 km what ever comes first
A line comes out of your trans,then runs into you radiator,then back to your transmission.
I wondered the same thing. The radiator doesn't only cool the engine coolant, It also cools the transmission fluid that comes from your transmission through the cooling lines. So your radiator has a crack somewhere and that would explain the transmission fluid leaking out. Hope that answers it. William @ JeepGrandCherokeeTransmission.com
it should be located in the exhaust , just past where it comes from the engine When you pull the engine up, look for where your manifold is. Go down to the bottom of it and it's right there, across from the radiator.
Was the car actually running hot? Is there water in the oil? You could have a weak head gasket that starts to lek under driving conditions. Get it in the shop before you crack a head. If the car is running hot, does it over heat while driving or will it overheat at a stop? If it does it will driving, check your trans fluid. About half of nuisance overheating can be traced back to the trans fluid cooler in the radiator.
Check fluid level in the resovior tank. If fluid level is OK, check the level switch. The level switch controls the dash light. If fluid id OK, and you dont want to replace the switch...unplug it.
It is between the battery and upper radiator hose where it comes out of the radiator.
Your anti-freeze is a Dex-cool anti-freeze. It is not compatiable with the green kind. It is a long life coolant which can last up to 100,000 miles. If you have to top off, do not add water as this coolant comes pre-mixed. Is there red fluid on top of normal coolant? If so you have a leak between you radiator and auto tranny cooler.
Some radiator fans will come on with the air conditioning. If it comes on with a cold engine with the air conditioner off then there may be an issue with the fan temperature switch. It is normal for a fan to come off and on during driving after warm-up.
