why is my 2010 Town and country overheating

Asked by Guru9KF5LB Apr 19, 2022 at 09:22 PM about the 2010 Chrysler Town & Country Touring FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2010 Chrysler town and country that the temperature gauge reads
hot {in the red} but the radiator cap is not hot there is coolant in the overflow
tank and the radiator. I have changed the housing and the thermostat today
and it still over heats or says it is. but like I said the radiator cap is not hot.
what could this be? please help my only vehicle and single mom who has
kids to get to appointments Thursday.  thank you

Is your heater blowing hot air? If not, I'd suspect either you have air trapped in the cooling system or the water pump is not working. Either condition will cause the coolant not to circulate and make the engine overheat. Plus since the coolant is not circulating the heater will not blow hot air. Hope that helps! Jim
