* Front of the engine block: This is the most common location. Look near the bottom of the engine, towards the front. It might be somewhat hidden behind other components.
* Passenger side (right side) of the engine block: Less common, but possible.
* Driver side (left side) of the engine block: Also less common.
To find it, you should:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best source of information. The manual will specifically show the location for your year and model Escalade.
2. Look closely at the front of the engine: Once the vehicle is cool, carefully examine the front of the engine block. The plug is usually a fairly robust, heavy-duty cord end.
3. Check near the coolant hoses: The plug is often near coolant hoses or other engine components associated with the cooling system.
Important Note: If you can't find it after searching these areas carefully, it's best to consult a Cadillac dealership or a qualified mechanic. They can pinpoint the location or confirm if your vehicle even has an engine block heater. Not all Escalades are equipped with them, especially those in warmer climates.
