  • Block Heater cord??

    So, being this nice cold snap, I thought it may be a good time to go looking for a block heater cord somewhere on my car, I'm not sure who I asked before, but they felt it was tucked away under the little side grilles in the bumper...I have a block heater install on the sales receipt from NVW, so its somewhere!! I posted this on an american site, and all I got was "wow, where can I get that mod?" or "whats a block heater"? So, my question in where the heck is the cord tucked????? I hope to find this out by tonite! Any help mucho appreciated!

          Mine is tucked in behind the lower centre grill (i.e. the lowest) toward the passenger side.

              Mine is an 02 also, and it was ziptied to the centre lower grille, just dig through there and you should find it.

                  Mine is inside the engine bay right behind the passenger side light housing. The dealers install the block heaters so knowing them it could be next to freaken anywhere!!!

                    Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what if I was an ant, and she fell on me. Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny.

                      Mine comes out of the center grill. I guess once you find it you could pretty much route it where you like if you have the length.
