Where is the cooling thermostat located?
The thermostat is located between the engine and the radiator. This little temperature-sensitive spring valve stays closed during engine warm-up. When the thermostat is closed, it prevents coolant from leaving the engine and circulating through the radiator until the correct running temperature is reached.
Where is the engine thermostat located?
Most cars have a top-mounted thermostat located close to the water pump on the cylinder head. The top radiator hose feeds coolant through the thermostat into the engine. If you can't locate the thermostat, simply follow the hose until you see the housing containing the thermostat where the hose joins the engine.
Where is the thermostat located on a 2001 Dodge Dakota?
Locate the thermostat. On the 4.7-liter engine it is located at the end of the hose coming out of the radiator. On the 3.9-liter and 5.9-liter engines it is located at the top radiator hose where it goes into the engine.
How do you test a car thermostat?
Start your car's engine and allow it to idle. Look through the radiator filler neck to see if the coolant flows. At this time, it should not be flowing as your car has not reached the operating temperature to cause the thermostat to open. If you find the coolant is flowing, it means the thermostat valve is open.
What to do after replacing a thermostat?
After replacing the thermostat, refill antifreeze. Leave the radiator cap off, and start the vehicle. Wait five minutes to allow all of the antifreeze to circulate throughout the engine. Turn off the engine, and allow the engine to cool.
Is it hard to change a car thermostat?
