Under the fitting where the top radiator hose connects to the engine block.
you look for it
Seriously? Under the hood!!! I cant find the battery under the hood
many things could be wrong......if you are losing antifreeze it could be a hose, water pump, a radiator leak, head gasket....check for any orange or green fuild under the hood of the car and any signs of somthing being wet.......if no fuild is lost could be the themostat...if u have no heat in the car it could be a sign of the themostat...the themostat could be stuck closed...this is if there is not major damage to the car entarnaly to the engine....
Alternator
Very difficult to get to,,, easy to find,,,,,follow the top radiator hose to the motor,, its under the hose nipple that the hose is attached to.
You can find a diagram of the parts under the hood of a car inside the owner's manual. You can also find it in the vehicle's Chilton auto repair manual.
get under the car, follows the water hose to the engine remove the water hose and remove the base where the hose hooks in to and you will find the termostat inside the base.
It appears to be under the windshield washer fluid tank
Here is an idea. Drive around until you find a Venture and ask the owner if you can take a under hood photo. Click the link and there is an under hood photo on the link.
under the hood...
