Hello,
I just bought a 2001 Chevy Blazer and in the manual it says it has a block heater and I cant find the cord. I have looked high and low. It said to look on the drivers side behind the fuse block and I did, and still no cord. Where is this cord at. Please help. Thanks

Mine was tied together in the engine compartment along the drivers side.

The manual is a generic one... It may state things that aren't installed on all vehicles. If it is a factory installed, it would be in the center freeze plug location on the drivers side and the cord should be somewhere on the driver's side as well.

Found mine tied up to the ABS area. And the cord should run to the middle of the block on the driver side. If the cord is missing, you will atleast find the freeze plug with the prongs for the cord to attach.

Like I said, that is if you have a block heater installed. My Bravada does not, but my manual still has a blurb on the block heater.
If you have RPO code K05, you have a factory installed block heater. Your RPO code list should be on the inside of the glove box door.

Does it ever get warm? A block heater just keeps the coolant in the motor warm, while it is plugged in. If you have a problem with the heater system in your truck, it will not make you any warmer. If you simply drive to short a distance for the engine to warm up, then, the block heater will be the answer to your prayers. If you drive more than 5 miles or so, even in the coldest weather, your heater should be blowing warm air.
There are aftermarket block heaters of just about every description you can think of. From those that go into one of the heater lines, and circulate warmed coolant thru most of the system, to a heating element that replaces on the freeze plugs, and just warms the coolant in the motor.
