Without knowing exactly which model it is, it's tricky to know for sure. I've attached a link to at least one Enerstat users manual. It says that you should simultaneously press the %26quot;s%26quot; and %26quot;t%26quot; buttons.
Even if this isn't exactly your unit, its worth a try.

2000 Nissan Xterra?
does anyone know how to change a thermostat in a 2000 Nissan Xterra?
I have looked and I think its the lower hose, but i'd rather not take off the timing belt...
Is there an easier way?2000 Nissan Xterra?Follow the top raidiator hose back and the place where you see it terminate that is where your thermostat is

Cold air coming out of vents yet set temp reads 74?
my temp reads 74. my set temp is at 82. how can i get the vents to consistently blow out hot air. the heating guy came over. but everytime he comes, it blowing out hot air. the hot air doesnt last long. its like hot air for 30 min. cool air for about an hr, hot air- 30 min. and so forth. the heating guy changed the thermostat. right as we speak. its blowing out hot air. Cold air coming out of vents yet set temp reads 74?The furnace may be too small for your house and/or your home insulation may be too weak if the room temperature reads 74 when you want 82.
Cold air coming out of vents yet set temp reads 74?It sounds like you are tripping out on the high temp limit on the furnace.
Nothing wrong with the wall thermostat if the fan keeps blowing. Changing that was dumb. If the fan keeps going blowing cold it means the wall thermostat is still calling for heat. If it was the wall thermostat the unit would just shut off.
I have had customers shut off half the vents in the house thinking they will save heat and then call me to fix an overheating furnace.
Or they put filters in the return, in the furnace, and in each vent too and wonder why it is not acting right.
Plugged filters and a dirty blower wheel will do that as well. How long since the blower was cleaned? Ever? Could be a bad high temp limit switch too, or both if it takes an hour to reset.
First check I would do is measure the heat rise at the vent closest to the furnace while it is running %26quot;hot%26quot;. It should be about 30-60 degrees above room temps. Modern furnaces operate closer to the lower than the upper. The heat rise will be marked on the model number plate.
Some times people don't realize they have closed so many vents. They vacumn over them and close them by accident. They shut off a couple to put a couch over it. Then others so as not to blow on a plant or blow curtains around then shut off one unused room or so. Before they know it most of them are closed and the furnace overheats.
Go around and check each one to make sure it is open, don't assume.
Good LuckCold air coming out of vents yet set temp reads 74?Hello,
Just a thought but you might have an air leak from a damper or from the pipes somewhere . Take a smoke pencil and start checking around all the pipes in the crawl space or basement at the furnace , and anywhere else you can to find an air draw.
Good luck

Married woman i need your advise?
Hello I am 24 years old tomorrow and i have been married to my husband for 2 years almost and we are already having some problems. In December we had a beautiful little girl and now we are always arguing and he has gotten more controling and has been irritating me a lot more sense i had our daughter. Monday thru Friday I am stuck in the house all day every day and on weekends i wanna go do laundry or something he has to drive me. I have a truck but it needs the thermostat changed and we have the part but he hasn't been able to fix it cause its been very cold outside lately and we haven't had the money to take it to the shop. We have 2 dogs and he doesn't take care of them i have to everything while all he does is work and come home a sit on the couch on his phone. He doesn't even help with our daughter either and he will sit there and watch my every move with her and lecture me if i do something he doesn't like. Now he wants me to move in with his grandpa and help take care of him and take care of 2 dogs and a 2 month old. I would have no vehicle so i can go do whatever instead of being locked up and he said if i wanna go somewhere his mother or my parents can drive me. It feels like i have no freedom at all and I can't just get in his car and go when ever i want cause its his and nothing is ever ours when it comes to him. I am a at home mother and wanna go back to work so i have something i can call mine and it sucks when you have no daycare cause its $40 a day here, and no vehicle to look for work and everything either. I wanna get some money i have to have a good reason for needing it and OMG i hate this but i dont know how to talk to my husband about this with out him getting the wrong impression or him getting angry either.
Is it wrong that i feel like i have no freedom? Is it wrong for me to feel all this anger toward my husband? Does my husband watching my every move with our daughter make me a bad mother when she is my 4th child and his 1st child? Is it wrong that i wanna have a vehicle if i am gonna be living with his grandpa outside of town where i cant walk to go anywhere? (if i wanna walk some place i would be walking 5 miles into town!!!)
Please help me out here!!!!Married woman i need your advise?tell him how you feel, say come here lets colm down for a minute, talk about it, your conversation will help you, tell him about your problems, and if you are going to get a devorce dont because it would be horrible for the kids i would no my parents are devorced and i no about alot, so tell him how you feel try your best to find a close job,and than when you get enough money for a car, get one, than find a better job for you that you like that mite pay better,than you can stop you other job,but trust me say i dont want to start a fite if it starts and trust me never get a devorceMarried woman i need your advise?It doesn't take long to fix a thermostat,20 minutes at most,you need to put your foot down,now before it goes any further.Married woman i need your advise?can the other kids help any u said u have 4 kids...u could be suffering from post partum depression or being drawn further into a mentally abusive situation that will become more and more difficult to get out ofMarried woman i need your advise?a) the thermostat on the car costs less than $10 and it's as easy to change as the oil

On the weekends, gather your laundry and hop in his car and go do laundry. He will have to take care of the kid.Married woman i need your advise?Open your own day care. Let people pay YOU $40 a day to watch their kids. Then you can have some income of your own. He'll also need to get your car fixed in case one of the kids has to go to the ER or something.
As for your feelings, that's exactly how I'd feel in your situation. That's why I decided long ago NO KIDS! And your husband sounds like a control freak. And a lazy bum, if he won't help with his own kid.Married woman i need your advise?I don't think its wrong that you feel that way, you have you reasons to do it. I am married too, no children, but his things are mine and mine are his and I think that is the way a marriage should be, plus communication. I don't think its wrong you want a vehicle, what about if you need to take the baby to an emergency (hoping that never happens) or you just need to get out to get food or diapers or something. Plus on top of that take care of an elder person, I mean, you have a lot already. Talk to him, try to do it calm, but there is no other way beside putting everything on the table and dealing with the issues. Plus, why does he wants you to move with his grandfather, you have a baby to take care of. Put everything on the table and explain to him your needs and that he needs to help you take care of the baby, after all is his too. I hope you get everything ok. Good luck.Married woman i need your advise?i'm not married :)
but I think you should just sit him down, look him in the eye and say
%26quot;a. Help me with the dogs or I'm not going to take care of them anymore.
b. Come with me to fix the thermostat.
c. It only costs a few bucks.
d. We have a daughter who only has a mother.
e. If you are going to force me to be your father's caretaker you are getting me a new car since you work all the time.
f. I'm getting a job.
g. I'm capable of taking care of our daughter so stop criticizing me.
h. seriously, I LOVE YOU.%26quot;
and yes you have a right to feel that way because if I were you I would go insane.Married woman i need your advise?Don't let him treat you that way, he is your daughter's daddy not YOURS!!!!!! have a back bone stand up for yourself. When you married him you married his belongings as well, so his car is your car and you have every right to drive it when you please. Have you talked to your family about this? what do they say? All I can say is %26quot;Do you%26quot; dont ever let some one run your life for you, you can be a good wife and take care of you kids with out him having to tell you anything. You get married to SHARE your life with your husband and not for him to take over your life. good luckMarried woman i need your advise?no, NO moving in with his grandpa, you'll throw your youth away caring for some old man, find a friend and start being more independent. you need to be around women in their 20's, and please go to a bible based church.Married woman i need your advise?I be telling him that he needs to get busy on that thermostat, If something was to happen while he was at work and you needed to get somewhere fast, you wouldn't be able to get there. Make sure that he understands your worries.And i wouldn't go back to work so soon if you can afford it, wait till you don't have to pay day care because it get expensive, wait until the baby starts school, and if you do go to take care of grandpa, u will definitely need a car so if you need to you can get him to hospital if need to. My hubby tried that stuff with me and i decided i would put my own part in my own car, it pissed him off but we together finally get it put back together, he didn't like that fact that the neighbors where watching me fix my own car in the front yard by myself. and now we been happily married 17 yrsMarried woman i need your advise?since you are the caregiver of the dogs, call the animal shelter and ask if they can take them. next tell your husband that you are not a nurse, and furthermore, they are not your grandparents to take care of. while an occasional visit, and an offer to stay and relieve your inlaws would be a nice suggestion on your husbands part, it is not your responsibility.
furthermore, yes you do need a vehicle (especially with 4 kids) to get around in. i dont care if its just to the dollar store to look at a pair of panties, this is 2009!!!
you are a mother and should be enjoying that, not being miserable!!!

So i have a 98 mitsubishi eclipse 98 gst. When i drive it, it doesnt go pass 3000 rpm when i push the pedal?
So basically the car starts fine and I can rev up the car just fine. However when I drive the car the car will not pass 3000 RPM and when I try to it feels as if i let go off the gas pedal and if i try to gradually increase the RPMS the car starts to shake/ starts bogging/ (that feeling when your car is about to stall when you leave it on gear and let it go to 0mph). So basically it is restricting me to stay under 3 KRPMS and can only go up to like 60 mphs because of this. When I try to floor it, it also doesnt feel right.
I was thinking some kind of simple adjustment can fix this.
Does anybody know anything about the adjustment you do for the amount of fuel that goes into the engine, that maybe the problem but I dont know how to adjust it or where it located.
The car was actually running fine. when I got my thermostat changed and the guy suggested I should loosen this screw to make not to much gas go into the engine then this problem happened.... I tightened that thing he loosened up and yet I'm still having this problem. If this sounds familiar to anyone please help me.So i have a 98 mitsubishi eclipse 98 gst.

Why is my ford ka blowing out cold air?
its a ford ka 2 1998 s reg and it has started blowing out cold air, i had the thermostat changed but that was not the problem as the old one wasn't even broke. my dad then went to check the heater control panel which when he tried to undo the factory clips the pipes to the heater control panel fell apart, we have ordered a new heater control panel which wont be delivered till tomorrow, could this be the reason why it was blowing cold air out? as the car is quite old and the plastic pipes had perished.also can anyone give me any tips how to drain and refill the coolant system when my dad is fitting the new heater control panel? thanksWhy is my ford ka blowing out cold air?hi its proberly the heater valve they had problems with them on the ka and fiestas its located on the bulk head should have two coolant pipes going in to it and two coming out they can be tricky to replace but i would say it is that as they were always going. Also to drain and refill system you can drain at the rad by undoing the drain plug on the bottom of the rad let it drain then lock it up. refill system run it up at idle with the cap off for about 3-4 mins check level and fill just over max mark. put cap on and turn the heater to the middle position then with the car running hold the rvs at about 3000rpm for about five mins. let throttle off and turn heater to hot check you have hot air coming out vents if not repeat process. after your done let engine fully cool and check the level in the tank top if required.Why is my ford ka blowing out cold air?It is usually the heater control valve that goes faulty on the Ka and the Fiesta.
They are not expensive and they are obtainable from most good motor factors (Partco) etc. No need to go to the main dealer.Why is my ford ka blowing out cold air?Unless you drain the system completely make sure you put ford anti-freeze in. Some don't mix well and turn to jelly.Why is my ford ka blowing out cold air?10 is not old...dad should let a mechanic fix it.1..there r little doors that open/close to move heat around
2 could be plugged heater core.Why is my ford ka blowing out cold air?It's only ten years old, that's not old, not these days.Why is my ford ka blowing out cold air?To drain.. on the underside of the radiater there wil be a stopcock of some kind, possible a plastic bung looking thing ith a cross on it, like a massive phillips screw, or it could be a knob.
Undo the water resevoir lid and jack the vehicle up. Using a collecting vessel underneath to collect the cooland loosen the stopcock,
If the water resevoir lid is off the water should drain. Wait till its all gone then tighten the stopcock back up.
(note to get to the underside of the radiator you may need to unscre the plastic cover under the vehicle using an allen key or a torx key.
Lower the vehicle and with the resevoir lid off and the heaters control on %26quot;hot%26quot; and the fan on, start the engine (have plenty of coolant mixed to hand!!)
Start filling the reseviour with the engine running. Do this slowly. Fill to max let it go down, fill to max, let it go down.. it shouldnt take long, a minute or two. At some point the water will stop going down below the max line (dont overfill!)
Replace the water resevoir lid and allow engine to warm up. Check for leaks top make sure everything was tightened up properly.
If all is working once the engine has warmed up the heaters should blow hot.. if so all is done.
Dispose of used coolant correctly, i.e. not down a drain but in a sealed container to the local tip who can dispose of it properly.
check it the next day to make sure its not gone down and top up if neccesary, check for leaks on ground if the level has dropped a lot. Tighten and retop up if required.

How do u change flush a heater core?
In a 1999 ford Taurus, 3.0 L engine, not the doh engine, just the regular 3.0 engine, the coolent does have a brownish tint to it. I've had radiator flushes every single year, but i still have no heat. i heard that flushing the heater core is different, so I'd like to know, step by step in how to do this correctly. My thermostat was changed yesterday, I've touched the pipes in the firewall(was told these are the heater core hoses) and one was warm(luke) and the other was warmer(more than luke), but i still have no heat, my heat blows like luke warm to cold, and it takes a long time to get up there. Help please!How do u change flush a heater core?When you flush the system it runs through the heater core if it isn't heating up correctly try putting a thermostat in that runs a little hotter. I had to do this with a vehicle I owned as it wouldn't blow out hot air it was luke warmHow do u change flush a heater core?You can buy a kit from Canadian tire or Auto Zone for about $7.00 and all you do is hook a garden hose on it start the car then turn on the water. Also you should add a winter thermastat. This will allow the antifreeze to warm up more before it gets cooled off in the rad. If this still doesn't work then put a piece of cardboard in front of your rad.How do u change flush a heater core?flush and drain cooling system.
there is a chemical called C.L.R. you can buy it in most any hardware store. buy 2 lengths of heater hose long enough to reach the heater core and come out the hood enough to get a funnel in one of them, run the other into a bucket under the car. pour the CLR into the funnel and let it run through the heater core. follow with distilled water. reconnect heater lines from motor. refill cooling system with proper mixture of antifreeze and distilled water.
this doesnt always work (about 50% of the time) but its easier and cheaper than a heater core replacement. especially in a taurus.How do u change flush a heater core?IF YOU HAD THE DONE ON A REGULAR BASIS THEN THE HEATER CORE WOULD HAVE BEEN FLUSHED OUT AT THE SAME TIME.
