What is wrong with my car I just put a brand new thermostat housing on it but he mechanic did not change the thermostat and plus I put a brand new set of electric fans?
So, it still has the old thermostat right? Maybe it needs a new one or maybe it got put in upside down. It's easy to do.

How do you change the thermostat on a 1999 Chrysler Concorde?
You should have the 5.2 engine with your Limited, but some have been ordered with the 4.0. The Thermostat is located on the front of the engine at the end of the Radiator hose. It is between the Alternator, and the A/C Compressor. You might find it easier to remove the Alternator to get to the 2 bolts that hold in the Thermostat Housing. remove them, clean the housing and the surface it sits on, install a new gasket and thermostat and put back anything else you may have taken apart.
What happens when you put a cylinder head on backwards?
If the motor was NOT started, if the head bolts WERE NOT torqued, then you would just need to make sure the head gasket was not pressed and put the head on correctly (head gaskets are cheap replace it if there is even a question). If the head bolts were torqued (tightened at all) you must replace the head gasket. If the motor was started then it depends on how hot it got. Water passages normally do not line up so the engine overheats very quickly because there is no coolant flow, oil flow is also interrupted in most cases; this leads to a myriad of problems including cracked heads, scorched bearings, etc. In this situation it is best to remove both heads, check the block deck to ensure it is not warped, and have the heads tested (re-tested) to ensure they are not warped or cracked.

What happens if you connect a starter motor backwards?
By connect a starter motor backwards I assume you mean put the negative cable where the positive cable would go and then put the positive cable to the negative connection. In that case the starter motor should run backwards. That might be a handy thing to do if you are using a starter motor to power something else such as a winch or maybe a pump.
