Where do I find the block heater connection??

Not that I would need it now in the summer, but.....

When I was changine my oil last night I looked for the block heater plug, but could not locate it. I know for a fact that the engine has one because it is listed on the options sheet. I could sure use some guidance as to where I might find it.

Raise the hood, Look in front of the radiator on the passenger side, should see the plug tucked in near the side radiator support.

Mine was on the inside of the radiator support. Why i dont know. Took me half an hour to unbolt the bracket to pull it through

I read your posts and I still can't find it. What exactly does it look like?

it's a black wire, with a black wall plug end on it. Looks like an extention cord. Mine has a cover on it. Mine was tucked in behind the passenger side headlight.

You can also find it by tracing backwards—look at the right side of your engine, about 1/3 the way from the fan will be a black electric cord that disappears into the block through a silver knurled ring, follow this cord backwards and you should find the plug somewhere on the right side support for the radiator as noted. Hope this helps!

Thanks to all that responded! Mine was tucked away out of sight behind the passenger side headlight. I had to feel around for it!
