I'm not understanding the logic here.... The thermostat is a mechanical device, as it gets warm the spring contracts and opens it up allowing coolant to flow past it. This would not cause any coolant loss.

Only few ways to lose coolant; you're leaking it, you're burning it, or something's drinking it... Either way, look for wet spots, fill the overflow/radiator, park it uphill and burp any air out of it!

Oh, and fix your sensors/connectors. If you have to I believe you can order pigtails of the wiring harness from Toyota or a parts store, same with the sensors.

Yeah, I suppose I got some bad info and I understand that now, had a brain fart....I'm going to have to order that stuff from the Toyota dealer in town and hope for the best.
