How do you remove the radiator from a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport?
As answered to a similarly stated question, this info provides removal and reinstall of new one ...
This one is actually not that tricky. It is ideal to consider replacing the hoses while you are doing this replacement, in addition to using a steel brush to clean up the pullies of the serpentine belt system too. Certainly, you will spend a little more time with that - but it seemed worth the effort.
RE: radiator replacement - first drain the current radiator - the plug in on the lower left side of the radiator. Once you have completed that and the hood has been lifted, there are four (or six) screws that hold the radiator on the top plate above the radiator itself. Unscrew these and set aside for reinstalling the top plate later. Once unscrewed, lift the plate off and then you are looking at the top of the radiator.
Next, there are two hoses that connect to the radiator - one on the top left (as you are facing the engine) and the other is on the bottom right. Disconnect the clamps and hoses from the connections to the radiator. Check the condition of your clamps - if they are in poor condition, invest the few dollars in new ones to prevent a headache later.
When both the top plate and the hoses have been removed from the radiator, it can then be lifted up and taken out of the engine area. This is the time when the serpentine belt becomes visible and the pulleys available to clean while in an unobstructed state.
Now, you are able to reverse the process and place the new radiator in, reattaching the hoses and then the top plate and screws secure it the rest of the way. Of course, lastly - refill with coolant/water mixture. That's it!

Where is the cooling fan relay on a 1996 to 2000 Plymouth Voyager?
The SSFR (Solid State Fan Relay)Cooling fan relay is located on the left front inner frame just behind the radiator.
The radiator coolant fan relay is located on the inside front of the engine compartment near the left headlight assembly. You have to remove the air filter assembly, then look for a simple square relay with 4 wires running into it. It is mounted with 2 screws. It is the only relay at that location. If it has burned, you will need to replace the pigtail wiring harness.
Remove the air box beside the battery a 10 mm bolt and the relay is a four prong square box bolted on the frame with two 8mm bolts

Is it possible when you have radiator fluid leaking that the timing is bad?
If the timing were off, it would be possible to overheat an engine, and have the overflow throwing water at you. But, in newer cars, this is usally not the case. You might have a bad hose somewhere-radiator, or heater hoses. And/or, the thermostat could be bad. NOPE

Usually there is a drain on the drivers side on the lower bottom towards the motor and it actually drains from the very bottom of the radiator. It's almost like a wing nut unscrew it and before you drain it make sure your radiator cap is off, then tighten it back. Depending on where you live, you can by the antifreeze already in the gallon mixed 50/50. When the car is running and your filling it up it will act like it is full, rev the motor up a little and it will be able to put more in it. Then check your over flow tank to make sure its at the right level!!

First drain the Rad of all the old fluid, refill it with water and simple green, should be about 1/3 simple green and 2/3, maybe 1/4 and 3/4....close enough. start the car and let it run cap off, it will get to normal operating temp, you may need to add just a little bit more. put the cap on and let it run for 10-15 minutes. then shut the car off and drain the solution. fill it back up with your antifreez and water and run it! 1/3 simple green and 2/3 water. (must of backspaced the water part)
