For the I6 engine, the actual thermostat is on the drivers side below the alternator. The coolant temp sensor is in a bad place. Approx 06' and up, they changed the location to the drivers side, wayyyy in the back. PITA to get to. 05' and older had it located right above the thermostat, was easy.

We're is the coolant temperature sense located on a 2008 trailblazer lt

Hi Janice , Before I say where the coolant temp. sensor is I'd just like to make you aware of a couple of thing's before you replace this sensor needlessly .It's one thing if you have a DTC diagnostic trouble code for the sensor but another if your temp. gauge isn't work ! You see the coolant temp. sensor is an input to the engine computer , not directly to the temp. gauge.
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the engine coolant temperature as determined by the engine control module (ECM). The IPC receives a serial data message from the ECM indicating the engine coolant temperature. The engine coolant temperature gage defaults to 100°F (40°C) or below if: ?€¢
The ECM detects a malfunction in the engine coolant temperature sensor circuit.


?€¢
The IPC detects a loss of serial data communications with the ECM.

Location of 2007 chevy trailblazer thermostat

Follow the radiator hose back to the engine on the top side. Where the hose connects to the engine is the thermostat housing. Remove the hose clamp and hose (when vehicle is cool). remove the housing itself and the thermostat will be right in front of you. .

This is actually an easy swap out. Remove the electrical connection, remove the retaining bolt and pull out old one. I believe the sensor is located in the front passenger side of the engine on this particular model.
