I had this same problem and it had nothing to do with the fan but the transmission. The dealership did some computer upgrade and fixed the problem The older model years should have had a PCM re-flash from the dealer. If this problem re-occurs after the fan-clutch is replaced then a reflash is needed. There are many cases where the reflash is the only correstion needed and the dealer is the only place it can be done unless you know a PCM tuner shop.
In a 2002 trailblazer it is located on the bottom of the radiator one the passenger side. Every other model year to my knowlege does not have drain plug.
If your heater core wasn't leaking at the time your radiator was replaced , then ( no ) That would be two separate jobs
its there....i think its a screw on the very bottom of the radiator..faces the ground if you dont see one disconnect the lower radiator hose
for the radiator.. there isn't one you have to undo the bottom hose..
Even easier way is to remove the cap on top and loosen the drain plug on the bottom. --- easiest way to drain radiator, is to disconnect the bottom radiator hose from the radiator
The radiator will need to be replaced. Sometimes, it may seem that the radiator itself is leaking but it could be the radiator "hose" that is leaking. In this case, the radiator hose needs to be replaced and clamped tightly.
The bottom radiator hose is the drain plug. I guess the designers decided that there was no need for a drain plug any more.
Bad thermostat? Radiator clogged? System "airbound" water pump not working? Low coolant level? Bad radiator cap?
Its Under The Top Radiator Shroud near the Radiator Mount. You May have to remove the grille to get to it. Hope this helps.
You have to take the lower rad hose off. They stopped putting the drain valve on the systems after 2002. Try www.trailvoy.com for all the answers for your Trailblazer!
