What is your question?
I found a leak on the side of my radiator and I had no heat. I added coolant to it and still no heat. It took a lot of coolant. I just replaced the radiator tonight and I still have no heat. I have checked the reservoir a few times and have added coolant as it went down. And the coolant is getting hot. But when I take the cap there is really no pressure. And still no heat. What could it be? Thermostat? If so I have no clue where that is.

Let it cool and remove the upper hose and make sure the engine is full, I have done this more then I can remember. If not full in the hose, fill the hose with coolant until it comes to the top of the radiator neck, reattach the hose and give it a try.
SOUNDS LIKE AIR IN SYSTEM TO ME ALSO
I thought that also. So I would run it and leave the cap off. When it would go down I would add fluid. Now it is staying full but still no heat.
I know it was full when I replaced the radiator. But I will give that a try. Thank you.
I always think it is as well but I have learned to do this and then I see I'm not as full as I thought. I might be wrong on this one but why not check to be sure. The only other way I have got them full is with a vacuum system but that takes longer.
I tried that. The tube had fluid in it. Just baffled by this. Maybe Thermostat or something with the blend door?
If your jug or upper hose is hot then the heater hoses should be hot as well. Are they?
They are all hot. What is weird is there are two flaps that close when I have the hood up. They are right in front of the windshield. If I have the car running and the heat on I can push those flaps with my hand and I feel heat. When I close the hood it push those flaps open. Which it is suppose to do. But I can't figure why the heat is there but will not go into the car.
Not sure on that model, you might ask the dealer what that is.
