Why are all radiator hoses hot except the lower hose?
Lower radiator hoses in water cooled engines are return lines. The upper radiator hoses are feed lines of hot engine water to the radiator. The reason that lower hoses are cooler is that the radiator has allowed much of the water's heat to dissipate into the air. Thus, a lower radiator hose contains cooler water than other radiator and heater hose lines.

the hoses leading to and from your radiator might be clogged. If you had a rusty radiator, the rust may have clogged the hoses that carry the coolant. you should check all your hoses and even flush them out.
What causes your car not to heat up?
First you need to make sure it is actually not heating up. Do this by checking to see if the radiator hoses are getting warm after running for 10-15 min. Be careful they could be HOT. If the hoses are hot then the heater core is plugged and will need to be replaced. If hoses do in fact not get hot then the thermostat is most likely stuck open. removing it will tell the tale.
No heat on your 2000 dodge neon. We just replace the radiator and thermostat. We also replace the upper and lower hoses. Both hoses are getting hot but still no heat?
Check the heater hoses on the right side of the engine. If one hose is hot and the other is not , you might have a blocked heater core. Or the blend door actuator might not be operating correctly.

Why does a car radiator produce steam when broken down in the summer?
There are plenty of ways a car can break down without the radiator being a part of the cause. As for the reason you'd see steam from a radiator, it would escape if there was a leak in the radiator or the hoses, or if the cap was opened. The contents in a radiator are very hot - hot enough to produce steam.
