It only helps in starting (not running) and only in the coldest conditions. Unless you're worried about below zero conditions, this is not your problem. > I am confused whether the switch under the IAD (and on the left) is > the thermo switch or it is for the backup lights.

The TS should be mounted to a bracket on the case, under the IAD. It looks like a BIG stubby hex bolt with a single connection tab coming out of its head. It COULD have been mistakenly mounted elsewhere, or just left off by someone. > I have a 1.5 foot long wire (1.5 awg?) lying around that has single > wire slip-on connectors on both sides and a 4-inch long wire > protruding from one end that ends in a smaller single wire connector. > Is this wire supposed to connect the thermo switch to something next > to the cold start valve?
