thermostat location

Hello
I looked at the how-to's and could not find where the t-stat is located..
I would like to change it during the weekend so I could stop driving my minivan :-(

Themostat is located at the front of the engine at the bottom, behind the housing that the lower radiator hose runs into.:) You will need a coolant bucket and a 10 MM socket. Be sure to use an OEM thermostat and don't forget to get a new gasket! :)

Ok
had the thermostat changed today.
Now my fans wont start.I had the same problem when I first got the car, and a shop fixed it, but it's back.
I'm definitely going to have them wired to a switch in the car.
