fan should it stay on

nah the thermostat is a mechanical device that opens at a preset temperature and lets water circulate thru the radiator, therefore cooling it. it is found at the extreme bottom left of the engine bay to the left of the oil filter, it is in a pipe that bolts to the block

well i changed a thermo switch today which is basically a nut with a connector on it! and my mfa will always goto 100 degrees or just over half way..

one last thought remember to let ur engine cool down when changing these switches as the water that comes flying out is blooming hot

If you want to find the thermostat then follow the bottom radiator hose back.
