You can locate the thermostat on the front of the engine follow the upper radiator hose back to the engine - the thermostat is located in the engine housing that the hose connects to, there are usually 2 bolts that you need to remove, take of the housing that holds it in place, remove the gasket and clean, test the thermostat or put in a new one - to test the thermostat hold it over a boiling pot of water with tongs if the thermostat opens this is not your problem if it does not open then your thermostat is faulty. Replace and reseat thermostat, replace the gasket, replace the bolts and radiator hose.
