If it is clean, undamaged, and in good working condition.....NO. Since the radiator needs to be removed, to remove the engine, now is a good time to have it cleaned and checked.
If an engine light is still on after replacing a fan's radiator sensor in a RFW engine the coolant sensor should also be checked. If the coolant sensor is bad it will send an error code to the car's computer.
i would have replaced water pump long before replacing radiator. also check engine oil to see if it has engine coolant mixed in.if it has then the problem is more likely to be a bad head gasket
Consider replacing your radiator cap . .
Follow the upper radiator hose from the radiator to the engine and at the engine you will find a housing with the thermostat inside. When replacing it make sure the spring goes toward the engine.
No, just replace the radiator. The other one (in the front) is the condenser for the a/c system.
I had replaced the water pump and radiator. This had continued to overheat but not as bad. After replacing the head gasket it was finally fixed. I was able to answer my own question only after replacement.

Follow the upper radiator hose from the radiator to the engine. Where it meets the engine there is the thermostat in the housing. Make sure you install the spring TOWARD the engine when replacing it. GoodluckJOe
You are screwed! Get that radiator flushed by a profesional ASAP! ANOTHER SUGGESTION DO NOT RUN THE MOTOR HAVE IT TOWED TO A PROFESSIONAL. IF YOU DID RUN THE ENGINE GOODLUCK BUDDY HOPEFULLY IT DIDN'T AFFECT THE ENGINE IF SO YOUR GONNA HAVE A HELL OF A TIME REPLACING ALL THOSE HOSES AND YOUR RADIATOR AND HAVING YOUR COOLANT LINE REPLACED.
I'm not a mechanic but, I had to replace my radiator to fix the overheating problem on my 1994. That was the last thing I replaced after replacing the water pump, thermostat, and replaced my fan with a clutch fan. have not had anymore problems with it overheating once the radiator was replaced. Flush the coolant first then replace the radiator. Hope this helps.
There is generally no relationship between replacing a radiator hose and a car not starting. However, it is possible that the engine overheated and has a cracked head. It is also possible that something was accidently disconnected when replacing the hose.
Try replacing the radiator fuse relay
