hello,
any body has a picture to show the engine block heater? or some other links where I can see it?
I've looked all over under the hood for the location of the block heater cord...where the blooming' blazes did they hide it ...it was -45 Celcuis this morning and feeling like below -53 ...i NEED to find that cord. Someone help. And i'm in Northern Canada so i know it has to be in there somewhere.
 
Yes, I do need a picture of block heater in the car, because the Traverse I bought is supposed to have one(as per the dealer), but I could not find the cord, nor the block heater. I checked the manual, there is only one phrase says "coolant heeter", no "engine block heater" in the manual. That's why I need a picture to where it is and what it looks like. under my traver hood, I found a black plastic cover with 6 retangular shapes in the middle, which stays on top of the engine, is that the engine block heater?
I am trying to upload a small picture, but failed.
Did you find the block heater cord..I have stared and stared in all the places in that engine compartment and am damned if i can find it. Someone help... i'm in a place with -40 temperatures and my car is frozen solid... i need to find that cord.
