How many thermostats does a 2007 Dodge Caliber have?

The 2007 Dodge Caliber uses a single engine coolant thermostat.


In more detail, both common engines for that year—the 2.0-liter and the 2.4-liter inline-four—rely on one thermostat to regulate coolant flow between the engine and radiator. The thermostat sits in the thermostat housing on the engine and connects to the upper radiator hose; there is no separate second thermostat in the standard cooling system. Heater operation is controlled by the vehicle’s blend doors, not by an extra thermostat.


Engine options and the cooling system


The Caliber offered two four-cylinder engines in 2007, but both use a single thermostat. The thermostat opens and closes to regulate when coolant flows to the radiator, helping prevent overheating as the engine warms up and during steady running.


Where the thermostat is located


In most Caliber models, the thermostat is housed in a thermostat housing at the end of the cylinder head, where the upper radiator hose attaches. Replacing it generally involves draining the coolant and removing the housing to access the thermostat and its gasket.


What this means for maintenance


When servicing, expect to inspect or replace only one thermostat. As with most cars, you should replace the gasket, inspect the hose connections, and ensure the cooling system is properly bled to remove air pockets after replacement.


Summary


Bottom line: a 2007 Dodge Caliber has one thermostat governing the engine’s cooling loop. This is true for the common engine options of that year, and there is no separate second thermostat in the standard configuration.
