What could be the problem if there is no pressure in either of the hoses going to or from the radiator?

If the engine is cool, then this isn't a problem (pressure in the cooling system isn't developed by the running engine, it is developed by the heat from the running engine).
However, if the hoses don't feel like they're under pressure at normal or higher operating temperature, it does indicate a possible problem. The possible problems could be anything from a blown head or intake gasket to a low or empty radiator. Regardless, if this is the case, the problem needs to be diagnosed and repaired before the engine becomes damaged.

What could the problem be on a 97 dodge ram if antifreeze still leaks badly even after the thermostat has been replaced and the radiator and pump was pressurized by a professinal and found no leaks?
Where is it leaking? That pressure test sounds funny, why would you pressurize only the pump and radiator? If you are leaking coolant outside the engine, locate the source. If you are losing it from the radiator but cannot find a puddle suspect a head gasket problem. Check the Radiator cap first, if it is bad high pressure coolant will travel back to the overflow bottle.
How long can you drive with oil leading into the radiator?
Oil in the radiator indicates a possible severe problem, where coolant could also leak into the oil. Driving an engine in this situation at all could lead to severe engine damage.

Defective radiator cap? Leak in system (Pressure test)? Head gasket?
What do you do when you find oil residue in the radiator of your '85 Ford Ranger?
what do you mean what to do? do you want to have an idea of what it could be? it could be the transmition fluid cooling lines(tank) that sometimes are located inside your radiator. if the lines leak you will find "oil" in your radiator. if that is not your problem then either a head gasket or a crack engine block.
The Cooling fan in my 1993 Dodge Stealth wont turn on what could be the problem?
Either the fan is no good or the heat sensor in your radiator, that turns the fan on is not working!!
You have changed the thermostat but your 1997 ford contour is still overheating What could the problem be?
Radiator plugged or restricted? Cooling system airbound? Water pump not circulating coolant? Radiator cap defective? Radiator hoses collapsing under pressure? Defective gauge/cooling temperature sensor?
What would cause your radiator cap to blow off?
the radiator cap is a pressure regulating device if it is blocked for some reason the pressure in the cooling system could blow it off

1999 Dodge Intrepid overheats when going uphill only in the heat of day at night its fine?
you could be low on antifreeze, could be a plugged radiator, or the radiator could be dirty. I had the same problem with my Dodge Ram and it was a plugged radiator

Sounds like a fan or fan shroud problem, but you could also be dealing with a plugged radiator, undersize radiator, or thermostat problem.
Why does your 94 Oldsmobile 98 keep saying oil pressure send problem?
It is either the sensor is bad, or there is not enough oil pressure. You could replace the sending sensor and see if that clears up the problem, otherwise you are looking at a more major problem dealing with your oil pump etc.
