All cars need a thermostat for proper operation and longevity.
All cars that are water cooled (i.e. they have a radiator) must have a thermostat.
if the indicator light is not getting switched off or on
The answer is...it depends. A majority of cars have the gasket going on top of the thermostat. You will have to look for things like a cutout for the thermostat to fit in and such to really know or you might even have to pull out the repair manual.
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
i am a female and know nothing about cars except gas and drive
There is a thermostat on all cars.
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.
Yes it can cause it to overheat but first check your thermostat. That would be the 1st cheapist thing to do before you did anything else. I got an 85 regal(overheating) and the thermostat or the heater core is the problem im getting them both replaced tomorrow and will let know of how it runs.
