If the thermostat is stuck open, the radiator is able to cool the antifreeze faster than the engine can heat it.
to keep engine warm faster n regulate heat to radiator
Auxilary heat is a second source of heat when your primary source can not keep up on it's own (either electric or gas).
the thermostat will gain more heat because when it gets cool it rises temperature so it can do its job keep a certain area warm.
The thermostat opens and closes to keep the engine running at the optimum temperature range. A properly operating thermostat also keep the engine coolant hat enough to heat the passenger compartment in wintertime.
A thermostat, as used in a motor vehicle, is essentially a heat actuated valve which, when open, allows coolant to cycle through the cooling system. The coolant absorbs heat from the engine and cycles it to the radiator, where the heat is exchanged to the ambient air which flows through the radiator fins. Air conditioning actually works in a similar manner, but is not affected by the thermostat - the thermostat does, however, allow you to have heat in your vehicle.
high enough to read, just keep it away from lamps , they produce heat.
Yes, A bad thermostat can keep the hot coolant from reaching the heater core... also, low coolant levels or a clogged heater core can make your heat stop working.
Yes, with out the thermostat, the coolant can circulate to fast to effectively absorb and transfer any heat. Updated answer, The thermostat is to keep the engine running at a factory set predetermined temperature, without the thermostat the engine should run cooler.
Yes You will, But not as well as with the thermostat in. Also, the thermostat helps keep the motor at the right operating temperature. Removing it will impead emission controls and may reduce milage.
With heat wrap/ heat tape, there are a few models that have a thermostat built onto the cord that keep the temp above freezing. Then you should wrap an insulation tape around the heat tape.
Sounds like the thermostat is stuck. It is supposed to open when the engine heats up to keep the engine cool. The same antifreeze fluid is used to heat the inside of the car. If the thermostat is stuck in the closed position, the fluid cannot flow through the engine (thus cooling it) and through the heat exchanger to heat the passenger cab.

Two good indicators of when to replace the car's thermostat: * When you have to run the heater (no matter what time of the year) in order to keep the engine coolant from overheating, * When you no longer get ANY heat from the heater core.
