The 2013 Dodge Avenger with a 3.6 liter engine has its thermostat located on the left side under the hood, below the oil reservoir on the passenger side of the engine bay. This thermostat is crucial for regulating the coolant flow in the engine based on temperature readings from sensors. When the car is cool and turned off, the thermostat remains closed. Once the vehicle warms up, the thermostat opens to allow coolant to circulate between the radiator and the engine. If the thermostat malfunctions and stays open, it can lead to fluctuating gauges, overheating, and potential coolant leaks.
In the 2013 Dodge Avenger 3.6, you can find the thermostat beneath the housing close to the water pump on the cylinder head.
