Thank you for your helpful info on this easy fix. I believe this will take care of my heating issues as it’s what was needed on my 2001 prior to this ‘07 and the thermostat replacement worked in that one. I didn’t research it and ended up paying someone else to do the work which was a LOT more money… It wasn’t until a coworker suggested I check the thermostat that I made the connection that I’m mixing up cars again. Hopefully, weather-permitting; I’ll get this changed out soon.

I have an 07 Taurus and that's the first thing I've heard when I asked about the issues I having

I have a Mercury sable 2003 dohc my car likes to get hot but not overheat while I’m in idle you think this is the problem?

Or your fan doesn't work

The heater doesn't get warm on my car and someone suggested the thermostat. Think it might help?

Could be that, or low on coolant, or blend door not moving.

I can't hear the door shutting when I quickly turn the cold-to-warm knob. If I did do the thermostat, what degree would be best? BTW - the engine temp. guage has never, ever gotten to halfway, even in summer. But I don't use air conditioning. Thanks!@@KorysRides

@@dbdouglas I think the ones that are generally available are a 190 or a 197. The higher temperature one will be better in cold climates. Just make sure you put it in the right direction

Blend door works. If I do the thermostat, does the coolant need to be drained first? Or just keep the cover of the reservoir on? Thanks.@@KorysRides

A macro view of the engine would help to identify the location you were referring to. I still don't know where the thermostat is.

Did you not watch the first 15 seconds of the video? The thermostat is in the thermostat housing which I point to.

If you can’t identify where it is from this video then diy mechanics is not for you.
