ok as you can probably tell from my avatar, i live up north in NY. The winter up here is just starting to kick in and they are very rough and cold. even though it was supposed to be a month ago. but i just wanted to know if i actually had some type of block heater on my car and how would i go about looking for it in the engine bay. i saw it in my owner'* manual and there was supposed to be a cord near the battery where i am to plug it in at but there isn't. could it be somewhere else under the hood? any advice, clues, or solutions would help.

K05 - heater engine block

Odds are that you don't have it. Check for RPO code K05 on the spare tire cover.

yea nowhere on it. i ws just asking because i had a SE/SLE. but is there anyway that i could maybe get 1 installed?

If you have one the cord should be wrapped up between the battery and the fender. That'* where it was on mine. I live in Wisconsin and it'* cold here. Mine is plugged in every night. Helps warm up the engine much faster. I'm genereally blowing heat after about a mile or so, unless it'* really cold.

I'm sur eyou could go pick one up. I dont belive their to hard to install. Some of them are just a magnet that you stick on the block.

yea i had seen in the manual that'* where it was. but i heard that there are like 3 different kinds. 1 that plugs into the block, 1 that goes into the oil pan, and 1 that goes into the radiator. but im trying to get the 1 that plugs into the engine block, because i just went outside to start it up and i cant feel my hands!
