Chrysler: how to drain antifreeze 99 ply breeze?

John, if you can find the radiator, you can drain this sucker. Unhook the
Lower
Radiator Hose and all the water will gush out.

When you refill, you might want to unscrew the plug in the thermostat
housing to help bleed the air out so the thermostat will open after you
restart the engine. It is a good idea to drill a 1/32 inch hole in the
outer diameter of the thermostat to facilitate air bleed. Monitor the fluid
level as the engine warms up and replenish as needed with 50-50 ethylene
glycol or whatever your owner's manual states is required for your engine.
Watch the temperature gauge too, if it has one. Do not allow overheating.

It would be better for the radiator to have a drain valve so the radiator
hose would not have to be disturbed for this procedure. But if you did not
find one, I don't suppose it has one.

Thanks for the advise,
i guess thats the only way, just that its a lot of work. Looks like the fan
assembly needs to be removed, its in pretty tight quaters. How much did they
save by not putting a drain plug.

This link claims there is a drain on the bottom of the radiator. Might
be worth another look.

I don't know about the Breeze, but my Chrysler's rad drain plug is not on
the bottom. It's on the back side, near the lower end of one of the tanks.
Its plastic, painted black, the same as the rad, and very hard to spot. It
also does not have any visible drain hole, as when you open it, the fluid
drains thru a built in hose, thru a hole in the lower support and frame. It
also is not an unscrew type - it is a twist and turn type, very trick to
figure out if you have never seen one before, and very easy to break. Just
be warned
