How do i change out the thermostat in an 03 dodge neon??? anyone got a free online manuals???

my wife's car is over heating and it only does it from time to time... i know it's not the water pump, because if it was, it would overheat the whole time... i need to know where the thermostat is and how to replace it... does anyone have a free repair manual or know a site that has one??? i need to replace this piece ASAP...How do i change out the thermostat in an 03 dodge neon??? anyone got a free online manuals???The thermostat is not the problem it is the radiator. If the thermostat was bad the vehicle would overheat all the time. Take your radiator out and take it in to be cleaned, for about $60. It overheats at high speeds and usually with the air on. Thar's a sure sign that it's not your thermostat. Also there's a thermo switch connected to your radiator. Look for an electrical wire running to a switch connected to your radiator.How do i change out the thermostat in an 03 dodge neon??? anyone got a free online manuals???take off the upper radiator hose.

remove the housing on the engine block.

the thermostat is inside the housing



Make sure you put in a new seal and tighten to the recommended torque setting.How do i change out the thermostat in an 03 dodge neon??? anyone got a free online manuals???there are 2 10mm bolts that hold the housing behind the upper hose to the head. the new thermostat will come with an integral seal that has a locator tab so you cannot get it in wrong. start to finish it is a 10 minute job.
