It means that you either have a bad thermostat or bad thermostat wires. You can also check for continuity in the thermostat wires with the thermostat on.
I've actually heard a bad thermostat can cause the evaporator core to malfunction.I've also heard of some a/c compressors will shut off if the engine temp gets to high which could be a thermostat issue. No, the thermostat has no effect on the battery or on the A/C. A thermostat either works correctly or it will stick open or stick closed. Sticking open will cause the engine to never reach full operating temperature, and as such your heater will not work properly. A thermostat stuck closed will cause the engine to overheat.
A bad thermostat, or in rare cases, a bad water pump.
By itself, the thermostat would have to be stuck closed causing a severe overheat condition to cause a loss of power.
The Mercury Villager and Nissan Quest are basically the same vehicle. The radiator is cooled by an electric fan and thermostat. If either of these are malfuntioning, that could be the cause. Otherwise, all of the normal things such as low coolant, bad water pump, clogged radiator, bad radiator hoses, bad thermostat,and incorrect timing could all cause the engine to overheat.

your temp guage will sky rocket if its bad, you may even have coolant a coolant leak (comming out of the the housing of the thermostat). replacing it is easy and cheap.
Car overheats, your heat in your car stops working
You will know of your thermostat is going out when your car overheats, then turn on your heater really hot on full blast, then the temp will instantly drop. This is a sign of a thermostat gone bad.
One Coolant Hose is hot and thew other is cold...
For the cost of a new one, if you suspect it might be bad just replace it.
If your engine takes a much longer time for the thermostat heat guage to reach its required level of operatiing temperature then the thermostat may be stuck in the open position which means that it will need to be replaced.

Any sign of overheating, just replace the thermostat. On a 8 year old car it should be replaced and the cooling system serviced.
Yes a bad thermostat would cause overheating in any car. A thermostat regulates the temperature.
