thermostat, maintains the engine at a constant temp, thats the theory.

Rad switch is what switches the fan on and off.

Due to sheer stupidity people go and buy low temp stats and rad switches, this isn't good for the engine or a nice toasty heater.

it doesn't mean its not working, it should still idle with it unplugged, did you try and rev it with it unplugged?

You can set them up with a multimeter. Renault only as well.
