Your correct if it fails and never closes. It is supposed to close only as long as the engine coolant is under 50 F. If it fails to open the engine will start cold and run fine when cold. As soon as it warms up it will run rich, smoke etc. If so try disconnecting the wires when warmed up. Of course it is more likely the wiring harness has failed then the thermo timer has gone bad.
