If your rasiater has allot of sediment in it, or your thermostat is stuck, or malfunctioning your emgine would overheat without affecting your coolant level.

Where is the thermostat gage control switch on a 2000 ford contour?

There is usually an ECT (engine coolant temp) sensor and a CTS (coolant temp sensor) located around the thermostat housing mounted in the intake. One sends coolant temp to the guage, the other sends temp to computer.


Will your car fix itself after overheating?

Usually it doesn't work like that. You basically need to check why it has been overheated. If it was because of you didn't have enough of coolant than you need to add coolant and check for leakage. If it happened because of the thermostat failure, you need to replace the thermostat and then drive the car. Other things might cause overheating too. PS: You have to be careful when you are dealing with an overheated engine.
