Robert - The otterstat is located in a coolant pipe on the drivers side of the engine, just forward of the catalytic converter. It has two wires connected to it, and is either pointed up or down, depending on the VIN. It is held in place with a little spring clip. While these are known to fail, have you checked the other components in the circuit, such as the fan circuit breaker, the fan relay, and the fan fail module (if still installed)? Have you purchased a shop manual yet? You might as well get that over with, because you will need it over the long run. You can test the system to see if the otterstat is indeed the problem by putting in a jumper wire between the two wires that are connected to the otterstat. If you install a jumper, and the fans turn on and stay on full time with the key turned on, then all other parts of the system are probably okay (for now). This indicates a bad otterstat. If the fans don't come on, then you need to start looking at the other pieces of the puzzle, starting with the fan fail module.

I can't seem to locate it on the parts lists... Where is the otterstat? My fans will not come at all. I know it's not bad fans, I tested both of them. I guess the problem lies with the otterstate.
