General Tips for Finding Your Engine Block Heater:
* Check the Owner's Manual: Your manual should have a section on engine block heater installation and may provide a diagram or instructions.
* Look Near the Engine: The heater is typically located near the engine block, often on the driver's side.
* Follow the Electrical Cord: If you have a cord for the heater, follow it back to where it connects to the engine.
* Inspect the Engine: Look for a metal block or cylindrical device with a wire or cord connected to it. This could be the engine block heater.
