In a 2013 Ford Taurus, the thermostat is housed on a coolant line near the alternator's lower right side. This component regulates the flow of coolant in your car by monitoring its temperature and directing it to the radiator or heater core based on the HVAC settings. A failing thermostat may trigger a check engine light as the ECU won't have accurate coolant temperature readings, potentially causing the engine to overheat. It is important to promptly replace a failing thermostat to avoid such situations.

The thermostat is located by the head on the other side of the engine from where the alternator is located. I'm not certain why you believed that was right, as it's nowhere close to where the alternator is positioned.
