2002 Taurus Radiator Drain

[mgedwards]

Where is the drain plug on a 2002 Taurus?


Thanks

For the radiator, I don't know. I usually just disconnect the lower radiator hose to drain the cooling system.

Remove the black plastic shield under (and back) from the bumper, the shield is held by a bunch of screws. The radiator drain (white hard PVC) is on the driver's side, on the bottom of the radiator. I cut a hole in the plastic shield at that location for easier accessibility, and covered the hole with an aluminum plate, held in place with two screws. This makes access both easier and faster, only one screw needs to be removed, and the other just loosened, to swing the plate away to expose the hole, and have the access to the drain petcock.
