either your thermostat is bad or the flame sensor on unit is no good. it also can be a limit switch. if it lights and stays on for awhile but doesnt reach temperature then its thermostat. if it lights for 10 seconds it is sensor or limit switch.
The answer depends on the thermostat setting as well as the kind of heating system that you have.

The pilot light is a small flame which stays on all the time (as in older water heaters for example). When the water temperature drops below the thermostat setting, the main heating gas is turned on and the pilot light ignites it. There are many other uses for pilot lights. To conserve gas, modern water heaters generate a spark to light the gas.
A thermostat in general, is an assembly that measures temperature (if it measures room temperature then we are talking about a room thermostat) and trips an electrical contact on and off comparing measured temperature to a temperature setpoint (the temperature setting we set on the thermostat by means of a rotating knob or a digital screen and buttons. In an hvac system, we install a thermostat inside the room in which we want to control temperature and we set the desired temperature. If current temperature is below setpoint, then the contact trips, and the heating system heats the room. When measured temperature reaches the desired setpoint, thermostat trips off and the heating system will stop giving energy to the room. By starting and stoping the heating system, we achieve to set room temperature within some limits.

If you are asking about the engine thermostat, they are not adjustable. You buy them by the temperature setting.
On will turn the fan or blower on continuously and auto setting will kick off and on according to the temperature setting on the thermostat.
Each has a different temperature setting, so each needs its own thermostat.
A temperature setting on a thermostat
Best guess: it thought it was daylight savings time. You may need to adjust the clock on the thermostat.
It depends on the ambient temperature and the setting of the thermostat.
There is only one thermostat relating to heating/cooling on the Windstar, and that's the one on the engine.If you're looking for the temperature adjusting/setting control, that's the temperature blend door and the actuator motor that drives it, based on the dashboard slide adjuster.See "Related Questions" below for more
