Cannot find the thermosat

I want to know how
Your nearest auto parts store will have a special T shaped fitting that you can install in one of your heater hoses. Follow directions which come with the fitting. Otherwise you may remove the bottom radiator hose and let the coolant run into a shallow pan that will hold several gallons. Don't let the coolant run onto the driveway or leave it in the pan unattended. Antifreeze is sweet to the taste, and is very poiseonous to animals and childrern. After draining the radiator remove the top radiator hose and flush with a garden hose for 10 minutes or until flluid comes out clean. This will only flush your radiator, to flush the whole system, you will need the T fitting.

To remove the door panel there is 1 torx screw behind little black cap at the door handle, 2 7mm screws at the bottom of the door,and where the window switch is pry it straight up and out, disconnect the wires and then remove 1 more 7mm screw in that compartment. Now lift straight up on the door panel. Hope this helps.
Where to put freon in 1996 crown victoria
Requires R-134a refrigerant. Look for the black cylinder located on the passenger side under the hood. If you are unsure of how to proceed with recharging the system, consult with a certified technician.
Crown victoria model 1996 heating up and while
Check your engine area for the heater hose coming from the radiator to the engine. This is where the thermostat is located. Squeeze or tap the hose vigorously to attempt loosening a stuck thermostat. If it still runs hot, find a large drain pan and place under hose on the ground. Wait for the engine to get to ambient air temperature and loosen hose and change the thermostat.

Purchased 1996 Ford Crown Victoria. On driving it
The horn relay is located toward the front of the engine. It is located just behind the radiator overflow reservoir and attached to the inner fender next to two other relays. It is the only one without a plastic cover over the top of it. FYI, our Crown Vic horn didn't blow, and the cruise didn't work. I changed the relay and still no horn. I decided to check the horns themselves. Found wires disconnected from terminals. Touched wire to horn terminal and horn blew incessantly. (previous owner had disconnected horn rather than diagnose why) Pulled the horn "button" from steering wheel and disconnected the wire leads and horn quit. Disassembled the "button" assembly. Foam had degraded over time between the contacts. (Ford has discontinued this part). Cleaned and replaced foam with Scotch foam mounting squares with holes punched out over contacts (2 layers thick). Re-assembled and viola! Horn and cruise control both work! Relay was bad as was horn button.
My A/C has stopped cooling. What type of coolant
It take's 134a freon, each can of freon runs about $5.00 to $6.00, you will more the likely, if empty will need two can's.You will recharge it at the low port side, sit on the accumulator, over by the passenger side, by the fire wall, cylinder looking with two a/c hoses connection's coming out of it.

if your looking for us to guess at what you discribe is happening then most likley you will be replacing parts needlessly. This needs to be diagnosed with tools to try to find out the reason.
For the attention of tone2121 where would the
the condenser is in front of the radiator. you removed the thermostat and the car is still overheating? have the temperature checked with an infra red thermometer. looks like a gun. you just point the beam at the thermostat housing and it gives you the actual temperature. only takes a second. maybe the gage or the gage sending unit it bad.
I have an ex police crown vic 1997 it appears to
it's funny to be reading about a similar situation i'm having. i also have a '97 crown vic, bought at a municipal auction.
of course, running the a/c should put more load on the engine and produce more heat. but not enough to be concerned about. if you car seems to be overheating, the thermostat could be to blame.
while diagnosing a different matter, i noticed the coolant temperature at one point reached 217 F. i'm going to replace the thermostat as it may only be opening partialy. my temp gage is normally just above the half way point between the high and low marks. it hasn't gone any further towards the high temp mark to be alarming.
where is the needle pointing on your gage? have you replaced the thermostat?
