Re: Searching for my thermostat in my 92 Crown Victoria....
Follow the TOP radiator hose to the front of the engine block. The housing that the hose connects to will have 2 bolts mounting it in place. The thermostat is located inside it.

If you are keeping this vehicle and do your own work on it, I 'd recomend going to ebay and buying a original Ford EVTM (electrical vacuum troubleshooting manual) for your specific vehicle. It is a very simple and well illustrated book to understand. I have one for my 1992 crown vic. It show a 40 amp fuse in the engine compartment fuse box for the lights.
Crown Victorias that year came with two engine options.
The regular Crown Vic had a 302 cubic inch engine.
The Police version had a 351W.
The 351W is a much better, stronger engine.
The easiest way to tell at a glance is to see if you can access the bottom thermostat housing bolt with a socket. If you can it's a 351W. If you can only get a wrench on that bolt, then it's a 302.
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.
The temperature gauge sending unit is located in the front section of the intake manifold, just to the right of the alternator on the 4.6L engines. Got this from autozones repair manuals
