I was doing my oil change last night and happened to notice a strange plug just dangling by the oil pan/oil filter...it looks like the outside is frayed a little but its plug is the most noticeable. its bright orange and looks like a normal plug...any ideas on what it could be?

 

I think maybe it could be something for the ac?

 

might make sense, sense theres no ac to speak of lol...push the button all you want and nothing just cant seem to find anywhere to plug it back into though

 

Block heater cord.

 

plug for the oil pressure sending unit?

 

you know how the power cord that plugs into the computer is kinda a triangle shape and three pronged connectors? Imagine that bright orange and just dangling next to the oil filter

 

I told you, it is a block heater cord.

 

ok, where exactly does it go plugged in, pictures would help a lot...or step by step lol...would like to get this thing back in tip top shape soon

 

i too have that plug dangling. i have no idea where it came from or goes???


wtf is block heater cord? where does it go, and why is it not plugged in?

 

The block heater goes on the drivers' side of the block, right in place of a freeze plug. When it's really cold outside, you can plug it into 120V and heat up the coolant in the block so it doesn't freeze. Unless you plan on plugging your car in, just leave it dangling.

 

they usally go in
