no coolant flow

we have a 2002 explorer xls 4.0 sohc. my husband just changed the complete thermostat housing unit, and thermostat, and sensor, and there is no flow of coolant, the thermostat will not open. he did notice that the upper radiator hose was cracked at the clamp area that goes to the housing, yet coolant flowed fine before changing the unit. Any ideas before we take it to the shop? thanks in advance!
