Do you mean the lower hose? Before the lower hose was cool and the top was hot. Now they are both hot. I'm wondering if the lower is hot from the temp under the hood. Its. It's not as hot as the upper is. Also would a stuck stat cause the fan not to come on? I haven't seen it come on yet since I've been driving the car. The sensor is right after the stat correct? So if its closed then it wouldn't know when to come on?
