it is in a housing on the passenger side of the engine. it is about six inches south-west of the distributor. go to autozone or advance auto web site and you will see the complete diagram of the location. the housing is held in place with four 12mm head bolts. you will need short extensions, flexible extensions to remove the bolts because space is very tight. when installing a new thermostat, make sure the little valve is positioned in a 12 O'Clock point. when i replaced mine, i used a real gasket that was held in place with Indian Head gasket sealant. also, insert the bolts through the housing prior to attaching the housing to the engine. i used a little glue to hold them in place. this will prevent the gasket from sliding off and the holes to stay aligned during the re-attachment process. finally, pay attention to the direction of the thermostat that is facing the engine and the direction facing the hose. good luck. i hope you have small wrists.

To change the thermostat on a 2002 Mercury villager, pull the hose away. If the bolts do not come off, wiggle the fitting to expose the thermostat to be able to change it.
Either the thermostat was not the problem, or you put it in backwards.
In front of the engine, down in the "V".
