However, not all 2007 Ford Taurus models came with block heaters. Whether your specific vehicle has one depends on the original options selected and the climate where it was sold. Vehicles sold in colder climates were more likely to have this feature.
To be certain:
* Check your owner's manual: This is the best resource. It will clearly state if your vehicle is equipped with a block heater and provide instructions on its use.
* Visually inspect your engine: Look near the thermostat housing for a threaded fitting with a cord. Be cautious when doing this; the engine may be hot.
* Check the engine compartment fuse box: There may be a fuse for the block heater. If you find a fuse labeled as such, and it's not blown, it suggests the presence of a heater.
* Check the undercarriage: Some block heaters have the cord entry point on the underside of the vehicle.
If you can't locate it, it's likely your vehicle wasn't factory-equipped with a block heater. Adding one later is possible, but requires professional installation.
