Because its exact location can vary slightly, it's best to:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source for your specific vehicle. The manual will either show a diagram or describe the location.
2. Look carefully along the driver's side of the engine block: Start near the bottom and work your way upwards, feeling for a cord or plug. Be mindful of hot components if the engine is recently running.
3. Use a flashlight: This will help you see in any shadowed areas.
4. If you still can't find it: Take a look under the vehicle, as some block heaters have cords that run down to a more accessible plug located lower on the vehicle's frame.
If you have difficulty locating it, a mechanic or a knowledgeable Pontiac enthusiast should be able to assist you.
