- Description:
If you're having problems out of your 2006-2011 Ford Fusion's cooling system, you may want to take a look at the thermostat. This relatively small component helps regulate the flow of coolant throughout the radiator and engine. The thermostat itself contains a wax element that melts and expands as coolant temperatures increase. This expansion causes a valve on the thermostat to open, allowing more coolant from the radiator to circulate throughout the engine. As temperatures returned to normal, the wax element solidifies and causes the valve to close once more.
The vast majority of problems with a 2006-2011 Ford Fusion thermostat usually involve it being stuck in either the open or closed position. If the thermostat is stuck in the closed position, it could cause the engine to overheat due to a lack of proper coolant flow. On the other hand, an open thermostat means that the engine won't be able to warm up as quickly as it should.
Replacing your current thermostat with a genuine Ford OEM parts will not only resolve these issues, but you'll also have a reliable part that's designed to last. Contact Blue Springs Ford Parts at 800-248-7760 for more information or stop by our online store today.

FAQs
Is Blue Springs Ford Parts a legitimate source for genuine Ford parts?
Yes. We are a fully authorized, brick-and-mortar Ford dealership, and we only sell the real deal. We know the online market is flooded with cheap aftermarket knock-offs and counterfeit parts, but when you order from Blue Springs Ford Parts, your parts are 100% genuine Ford, Motorcraft, or Ford Performance components.
Why are your prices lower than at my local Ford dealership?
It is easy to be skeptical when you see 'discount' and 'OEM' in the same sentence. If these are genuine Blue Oval parts, why are they so much cheaper here than at the local service counter?
The answer comes down to volume and overhead. Because we are a massive online distributor, we sell a much higher volume of parts than a standard local dealership. This allows us to offer genuine OEM Ford parts at lower prices, giving you the benefit of our bulk discounts.
Do you offer free shipping or promo codes?
Yes! We have periodic sales and discount offerings - sign up for our newsletter or follow our socials for all the details. While it's smart to seek out the best deals to offset shipping costs, keep in mind we're already offering the absolute lowest price possible right out of the gate.
- No Mark-Up to Mark-Down: We don't inflate our prices just to offer a flashy discount code at checkout. Our prices are already at wholesale levels, meaning there's no wiggle room for huge, additional markdowns.
- Beware of Fake Coupons: If you see a third-party website or a social media profile claiming to have a verified promo code for Blue Springs Ford Parts, it is almost certainly fake. When we do run sales or offer shipping promotions, they will always be advertised prominently and directly on our website and socials.
What is the difference between OEM, Genuine, and Original Ford parts?
We know you want to avoid online retailers that play word games to pass off aftermarket parts as the real thing. Rest assured, when you shop with us, all three of these terms point to the exact same factory quality. Whether a listing says OEM, Genuine, or Original, you are getting a Ford factory-made replacement designed by Ford, specifically for your Ford, that will arrive in an official Ford or Motorcraft box.
Can I pick up the Ford parts I order from Blue Springs Ford Parts at my local dealership?
No, your parts must be shipped. While the 'buy online, pick up near me' option is incredibly convenient, Ford dealerships are independently owned and operated franchises. Because you are securing specific, highly discounted pricing through Blue Springs Ford Parts, your order cannot be routed to a different, unaffiliated local dealership for pickup. Unless you live close enough to visit our physical parts counter in Blue Springs, Missouri, your order will be shipped directly to your door.
How do I use a VIN Decoder to guarantee a part fits my Ford?
Ordering the wrong part is a massive headache. Our VIN Decoder is the ultimate cheat code to guarantee 100% accurate fitment.
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) contains the exact DNA of your specific car or truck - from the trim level to the transmission and engine type. When you enter your VIN into our search tool, our system filters out everything that doesn't fit your model and year. It's a no-guesswork, guaranteed-fit easy button.
Do you sell Ford Performance or SVT/SVO parts, and will they fit my vehicle?
Absolutely. You'll find a wide selection of Ford Racing, Special Vehicle Team (SVT), and Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) components on our site for anyone looking to upgrade their ride. Because performance parts are often engineered for specific, high-output trims (like a Shelby GT500 or an F-150 Raptor), cross-compatibility with standard models isn't always a guarantee.
To ensure an SVT or Ford Performance part will bolt up to your specific non-performance trim, always run your VIN through our decoder or check the specific fitment notes on the product page before checking out.
Is the part I'm ordering the updated version of the part?
Yes. Ford frequently updates part designs to fix known issues, address Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs), or improve durability. When this happens, the old part number is superseded by a new one.
At Blue Springs Ford Parts, our inventory catalog is tied directly to Ford's master database. When you order a component, you receive the most current, updated version of that part, completely reflecting any superseding part numbers or design revisions.
