There is no answer!
There is not an opposite of thermostat, a thermostat is a measuring devise.
Our thermostat read 80oF.
Only if the thermostat doesn't work. This question needs more information.
What type of thermostat (there are several, the commonest is a rod)?
The engine thermostat controls the flow of coolant to the radiator , it allows the engine to warm up before the thermostat opens in order to limit the maximum operating temperature.
the thermostat used to control the heater and after we select the four pole switch to some number the thermostat start connect the power to the heater at the same time the heater start to heat and when we select the switch to zero position the heater not work
In the top radiator hose fitting opposite the radiator, on the engine.
On the 2002 model, it is on the left side (passenger) of the motor. It is the opposite of what we normally expect. The lower radiator hose is what attaches to the thermostat housing, along with the heater hose and overflow tank hose. I ended up buying the thermostat with housing for $27. No one would sell the thermostat by itself.
The opposite end of the top radiator hose attached to the top radiator neck.
On the opposite end of the top radiator hose, away from the radiator, in the inlet fitting.
yes sometimes cause if it fails open the temp sensor will kick the light on tellin its too cold or opposite if the thermostat fails closed
The copper pellet (the part with the temp on it opposite the spring end) should always go "into" the engine.
Follow the top hose from your radiator back to the engine. It connects to a long tube that is bolted at the opposite end to the top of the block; the thermostat is under the housing where those bolts are. Yes, you have to take off your intake manifold to get to it on this vehicle.
The previous answer is incorrect! The 3.0 and 3.3 liter engines used in all the Mercury Villagers and Nissan Quests from 1993-2002 have the thermostat installed just the opposite of most all other engines. The spring side of the thermostat goes into the thermostat housing not the engine block as was previously stated below. Flat Side Outward, Spring Side Toward Engine
The pellet, the copper part opposite the spring with the temperature on it, always goes "into" the engine. The spring end should face out.
When you open the hood look down, its right in front of you.........snakebite!!!!!! It screws into the top of the intake manifold in the front passenger side corner. directly opposite of the thermostat. Its no bigger than your thumb and has two wires going into it.
You can find the thermostat on the front of the engine. The thermostat will be inside of the thermostat housing.
The thermstat is on the bottom hose. The flow of water is opposite of most other cars. Don't forget to bleed the cooling system when you fill it back up.
